Played during the February/March international break, the Arnold Clark Cup took place at the same time as other notable international women's invitational tournaments such as the Algarve Cup, the Cup of Nations, the Cyprus Women's Cup, the Istria Cup, the Pinatar Cup, the SheBelieves Cup, the Tournoi de France, the Turkish Women's Cup and the Women's Revelations Cup.

England won both editions of the tournament. It has not been held since the introduction of the UEFA Women's Nations League and its link with the UEFA Women's Championship and FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers.

Format

The four invited teams play each other once in a round-robin tournament. Points awarded in the group stage follow the formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. A tie in points would be decided by goal difference.
