The competition began on 24 November 1986 and ended with the final on 24 May 1987 at Wembley Stadium.[1]
In the first round, there were two sections split into eight groups: North and South. In the following rounds each section gradually eliminates teams in knock-out fashion until each has a winning finalist. At this point, the two winning finalists faced each other in the combined final for the honour of the trophy.
