The North Gloucestershire Combination Junior Cup is an annual rugby union knock-out club competition organised by the North Gloucestershire Combination – one of the five bodies that make up the Gloucestershire Rugby Football Union. It was first introduced during the 1913–14 season, with the inaugural winners being St. Marks 'A' and is the second most important rugby union cup competition in north Gloucestershire, ahead of the Glanville Cup but behind the Senior Cup.{{cite web|url=http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/northgloucestercombination/a/history-18073.html|title=A Brief History...|publisher=North Gloucestershire Combination (Pitchero)|accessdate=21 May 2017 }}

The Junior Cup is currently open for clubs sides based in Gloucester and north Gloucestershire which are the 2nd teams of sides playing in the Senior Cup – although in the past the first teams of lower ranked clubs have also entered (for example when Old Cryptians won the Junior Cup in 2014). The format is a knockout cup with a first round, quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final to be held at Kingsholm in Gloucester in April–May alongside the Senior and Glanville Cup finals.{{cite web|url=http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/northgloucestercombination/news/combination-cup-draw-1750856.html|title=Combination Cup Draw|publisher=North Gloucestershire Combination (Pitchero)|date=6 February 2017 }}
