Oxford United started a tour of the historic Milk Cup across Oxford, Oxfordshire, on 17 March 2026 to celebrate 40 years since the club’s most famous win. The event gives local residents a chance to see the trophy in person as it travels to various spots throughout the community.
The tour marks the anniversary of the team’s 1986 victory against Queens Park Rangers at Wembley Stadium. According to Oxford United, this is the only major trophy in the club’s history, and the tour aims to connect its past success with today’s supporters.
During the tour, fans are being given the opportunity to see and hold the silverware. The programme is being organised with the help of Oxford United in the Community to help strengthen links between the football club and the local area.
Players and staff are visiting people across the region, including a recent stop to visit a long-time fan who was celebrating their 100th birthday. The tour will continue throughout the region as part of the build-up to larger 40th anniversary commemorations later this year.
