Copa Catalunya Femenina
The Copa Catalunya Femenina is a knockout competition organised by the Catalan Football Federation (FCF) for women's football clubs in the Catalonia autonomous community of Spain. Since its establishment in 2005 it has been dominated by FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol, with ten and five titles respectively: in its initial run of 15 consecutive years, all but one final was contested by both teams (in 2010, Espanyol and Barcelona met in the semifinals).[1]
Previous iterations of the same tournament concept organised by the FCF were for the Copa Generalitat Femenina, also called the Copa Catalana Femenina, contested in the 20th century after formal incorporation of women's football.

The competition was suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic;[2] upon its relaunch in 2022 it was branded as the Copa Catalunya Amateur Femenina, and neither Barcelona nor Espanyol (nor other teams playing in the top three divisions, including Levante Las Planas) entered.[3] In 2024, the member clubs of the FCF agreed a plan to extend the competition to professional teams again, with Barcelona, Espanyol and renamed Levante Badalona returning and entering in the final stages.[4]
