Final

The final was played between Glasgow City and Hibernian on 6 November 2016 at New Douglas Park in Hamilton. It featured the same teams as the previous year's final and the SWPL Cup final earlier in the year (as well as the previous two editions of that competition). Hibs won their sixth Scottish Cup, their first since 2010 (Glasgow City having won all of the intervening five). [1] [6] [7]

Hibs men's team had also won the 2015–16 Scottish Cup, and this was the first instance of a club holding both national trophies at the same time (albeit the women's team was only an affiliate and not a fully integrated element of the club at that point, and due to the differing schedules this was only for six months rather than a whole year).
