The UK Cup was started by Dave Peel in 1997 in order to develop competition within elite orienteering in the UK. It has been run annually since then, with the exception of 2001 when it was cancelled due to foot and mouth disease.

These pages give the top 10 overall in Men's and Women's classes for each year, plus the leading Juniors and Veterans. The winners of each stage are also given. In the "All Time" listings you'll find details of who's won the most stages over all years, and the legendary UK Cup Hall of Fame.
