The 2021–22 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup was the 20th edition of the SWPL Cup competition, which began in 2002. The competition was contested by all 18 teams of the two divisions of the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL 1 and SWPL 2).
Hibernian were the defending champions from 2019 (the 2020 edition was voided due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the calendar then altered from a summer to winter season) but they were eliminated at the semi-final stage by Celtic, who went on to claim the trophy for the first time by beating Glasgow City in the final.
Group Stage and they were divided into four qualifying groups. However Forfar Farmington withdrew after playing just one match, so only 17 teams continued in the competition. Forfar's withdrawal made Dundee United's 10–0 win in the first match of the group stages null and void.
Ranking within each qualifying group was based on
total points, then goal difference, then goals scored.
