The Club Cup is a new competition for adult weightlifters. It’s about fun, teamwork, and community. It also gives new lifters the chance to take part in their first event. The Club Cup is not about finding the “best” club in the UK — it’s about giving all lifters competitive opportunities whilst creating a positive team experience. Currently, the Club Cup is being piloted and is only available in some areas.

NEW: Volunteer for the Club Cup 2026

So far, the Club Cup has been trialled with 6 clubs in the South of England.
In 2026, we’re planning to grow the competition into new regions — and we need volunteers to help make this happen!
