# 2019–20 Scottish Junior Cup

The 2019–20 Scottish Junior Cup was the 134th season of the Scottish Junior Cup, the national knockout tournament for member clubs of the Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA). The competition was sponsored by Macron in the second year of a three-year deal and was known as the Macron Scottish Junior Cup.
A total of 132 clubs entered the competition, which was three more than the previous season despite two teams leaving for the East of Scotland League. This was due to the return of Cruden Bay and Johnstone Burgh plus Bo'ness United Junior, Linlithgow Rose Community, Sauchie Juniors Community, and Syngenta joining the East Region.
Auchinleck Talbot were the defending champions.
On 13 March 2020, the competition was indefinitely suspended at the semi-final stage due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost a year later and with no further matches played in the tournament, the competition was officially cancelled on 5 March 2021.
