The Middlesex RFU Senior Bowl is an annual rugby union knock-out club competition organised by the Middlesex Rugby Football Union. It was first introduced during the 2003–04 season, with the inaugural winners being Hammersmith & Fulham. It is the second most important cup competition organised by the Middlesex RFU, behind the Senior Cup but ahead of the Senior Vase.
The Senior Bowl is currently open to the next top 16 club sides that are not eligible for the senior cup based in the historic county of Middlesex (2016–17 only saw 6 clubs take part), typically playing between tiers 6–9 of the English rugby union league system. The format is a knockout cup with a first round, semi-finals and a final to be held at one of the finalist's home ground between March–June (although final dates can vary drastically).[1]
