The Middleton Cup is the men's Inter-County Championship run by Bowls England, equivalent to the women's John's Trophy. Teams are divided into eight regional groups and play a round-robin league, with each group winner progressing to the quarter-finals. The semi-finals and final are played at the National Bowls Finals at Royal Leamington Spa. Bowls England sets all dates for group matches, though the two counties in each tie arrange the specifics of where and how the fixture is played.
