The Somerset Premier Cup is an association football knock-out cup competition run by the Somerset County Football Association (SFA).

According to the current rules of the competition, to enter clubs first affiliation must be with the Somerset County FA, have the use of floodlights and be of a minimum of Western League standard (Level 10 of the English football league system).^[1]

The competition was first held during the 1928–29 season known as the Somerset Professional Cup, replacing the Somerset Senior Cup as the most prestigious County cup in Somerset. The first competition featured the three professional sides in the county at the time, Bath City, Taunton Town and Yeovil & Petters United, with the format initially being a round-robin tournament. Since 1934, the tournament has been a knock-out competition, while the format of the final has varied over the years, between being a two legged affair or a single match.

The first winner of the tournament was Bath City. The most recent winners are Frome Town who defeated Portishead Town 3–2 in the 2026 final.
