The U21 Premier League Cup is an English football competition run by Premier League for under–21 sides.
The competition was created in 2013 as an U21 equivalent of the FA Youth Cup[1][2] (an U18 competition competed for since 1952), albeit being run by the Premier League instead of The FA. It also compliments the U21 Professional Development League system, which was formed in 2012.
