1992 Lion Cup

This competition was a knock-out competition. The top ten ranked teams had a bye in Round One, while the teams ranked 11 to 22 played each other, with the winners progressing to Round Two. Those sixteen teams then played a straight knockout competition until the final.

Initially, the competition was scheduled to run from 21 February to 25 July. However, due to fixture congestion it was initially indicated that the competition would be scrapped.^[2]

In July 1992, it was announced that the competition would indeed take place and would run from September to October.^[3]
