Teams will participate in an exciting one day festival, typically playing 5 – 6 fixtures throughout the day. The exact format of the festival will be announced closer to the time of the events, but teams will typically play round robin group stage fixtures in the morning, with group standings then determining which section your team progress to in the afternoon (Main Cup, Shield, Bowl etc.). All teams will have a minimum of one hour of football scheduled for the day and all fixtures are played on 3G pitches. Following the final fixtures a trophy and medal presentation will take place at St George’s Park.
All players will receive a quality All Star Super Cup medal as a memento of the experience. In addition, there are also superb team trophies for the winners and runners-up in the Main Cup and for the winners of the playoff pool groups (Shield, Bowl etc.).

The All Star Super Cup is primarily set up as a residential experience, with attendees boking rooms at the Hilton the night before your tournament date. Priority is given to ‘Residential Teams’, who agree to book Hilton hotel rooms for their group.
‘Non-Residential Teams’, who wish to participate without booking Hilton rooms, can apply for entry by selecting ‘Non-Residential’ when completing Team Registration, which includes paying the appropriate Team Registration Fee in full. However, we cannot guarantee team spaces for ‘Non-Residential Teams’ until the number of ‘Residential Teams’ is finalised in each age group, which we anticipate being no later than 31 May 2026. At that stage, if additional team spaces are available, registrations will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis from ‘Non-Residential Teams’. If a team space is not available in your age group, you will be refunded the Team Registration Fee.
