For the Trinidadian cricket competition referred to as the Texaco Cup, see Beaumont Cup. The Texaco Cup was an association football competition that involved clubs from England, Ireland and Scotland which had not qualified for European competitions. Irish clubs withdrew from the competition after 1971-72 due to political pressure,[1] and in 1973-74 and 1974-75 competed in a separate Texaco (All-Ireland) Cup.[2] The tournament was sponsored by American petroleum giant Texaco, who owned and operated service stations in the United Kingdom and Ireland at the time. In the first two season sixteen clubs (six from England, six from Scotland and four from Ireland) entered. Attendances for many sides were comparable to those for European matches and Scottish clubs fared well against their English counterparts. However, from 1973 onwards, English sides dominated, causing all-English fixtures which spectators found unattractive and stayed away. The cup became the Anglo-Scottish Cup from 1975 after the withdrawal of Texaco's sponsorship. [edit] Winners
