Fabron Californie's fourth title (2026) makes them the outright most successful club in Cup history — a sentence their supporters have waited 21 years to read.

Miscellany

• Non-league winners: White Star (1992), Madeleine Milan (2020*), Baustelle (2024). Madeleine Milan remain the only team never to have lost a Cup match in regulation.
• Successful title defences: one — Cardboard Box Hotshots, 2007–2008. Or two, or nought, depending on your position regarding the sideflicks. The matter is before the Ombudsbod.
• Managers to win with two different teams: Garb (School Drive Greenshirts 1990, Spital Subastars 2010).
• Months in which the Christmas Cup has been contested: December, March, July, August. The governing body considers this consistent with the name.
• Prize money, 1988: £8 (winners), £4 (runners-up), £4 (best non-league). Prize money has since been discontinued in the interests of sporting purity.
