Guernsey will host the second Cherry Godfrey Cup – with Victoria Park the place to be on 26 and 27 June 2026.

After the “phenomenal success” of the inaugural Cherry Godfrey Cup in Jersey in 2024, the organisers have today confirmed that the tournament will be staged again next summer, bringing together women’s football teams from Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight for two days of competition, community and celebration.

Cherry Godfrey had envisaged the Cup as a biennial tournament, championing women’s sport, inspiring the next generation of players, and showcasing the power of island communities working together.

Tanzy Cherry, Chief Operating Officer, said they’re thrilled to see its success is living up to that aim.

“We were absolutely blown away by the incredible atmosphere, talent and team spirit at the first Cherry Godfrey Cup in Jersey. Seeing players, supporters and communities from across the islands come together to celebrate women’s football was really special and we can’t wait to see that same energy and passion again in 2026.

“This tournament is about so much more than football – it’s about opportunity, pride and creating moments that will inspire future generations. We’re excited to see our islands come together once again and make the 2026 Cherry Godfrey Cup bigger and better than ever.”

Gary Roberts, Chief Executive of the Guernsey FA, added: “We are delighted that the Cherry Godfrey Cup 2026 will be held here at Victoria Park. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase Guernsey’s new ‘Home of Football’ facility on an inter-island stage and to welcome players, supporters and officials from across the islands. We are proud to be part of a tournament that shines a light on women’s football and strengthens the sporting ties between our communities.”

Full details on fixtures, tickets, and additional event information will be released in the coming months.
