The 2021 Gibtelecom Rock Cup was a single-leg knockout tournament contested by clubs from Gibraltar, with twelve clubs participating. The winner of the competition qualified to compete in the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League. Europa were the defending champions after defeating Gibraltar United by a score of 3–0 in the 2019 final.[1] There was no 2020 winner, as the tournament was abandoned after 2 rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
