The Football League Cup, commonly known as the League Cup, is an English football competition. Like the FA Cup, it is played on a knockout (single elimination) basis. Unlike the FA Cup where 674 teams entered in 2005–06, only 92 clubs can enter: the 20 clubs of the FA Premier League, and the 72 clubs of The Football League who organise the competition. Also unlike the FA Cup, the semi-finals are played over two legs. The winners qualify for the UEFA Cup, if they have not qualified for European competition in some other way.
Since 1982, the League Cup has been named after its sponsor, giving it the following names:
* Milk Cup (1981–82 to 1985–86)
* Littlewoods Challenge Cup (1986–87 to 1989–90)
* Rumbelows Cup (1990–91 and 1991–92)
* Coca-Cola Cup (1992–93 to 1997–98)
* Worthington Cup (1998–99 to 2002–03)
* Carling Cup (2003–04 to present)
There is also The Football Association Community Shield (formerly the Charity Shield). Which is an English association football trophy contested in an annual match between the champions of the FA Premier League and the winners of the FA Cup. Usually played at the start of the season.
League cup means that they won the premiership. Ther is also Champions League which is the top teams from each league. The Carling cup is a not as major tournament that many English teams, premier, and from the lower leagues can enter.
