The All England Cup is a greyhound racing competition held annually. It was inaugurated in 1938 at Brough Park later known as Newcastle ^{[1] [2]} and replaced the Northumberland Stakes as the primary event at the stadium. ^[3]

History was made during the 1946 running when four of the entries were the four nations Derby winners. The English Greyhound Derby winner Mondays News, the Irish Greyhound Derby champion Lilac Lady, Welsh Greyhound Derby winner Negro's Lad and Scottish Greyhound Derby champion Lattin Pearl all competed. The hope that all four would progress to the final failed to materialise but two of them Monday's News and Lattin Pearl did make the final and duly finished first and second. ^{[4] [5]}

In 2022, the first prize was increased to £20,000 under the sponsorship of Premier Greyhound Racing.
