The Winchester Ladies Cup, a season-long competition within the tour designed for women sporting clays competitors, expands for 2026 with $40,000 in added payouts and 120 cases of ammunition. Each tour stop splits the Ladies Cup field into two groups. The Pro/M/AA group competes for $5,000 in added payouts across three events: Main, Super Sporting and Five-Stand. The A/B/C/D group competes for cases of ammunition across two events: Main and Super Sporting. Payouts and ammunition ship to winners after each event.

“Winchester Ammunition and White Flyer are excited to be aligned with the NSCA at the highest level again in 2026,” Jason Gilbertson, senior director of marketing for Winchester Ammunition said. The sponsorship follows a 2025 season in which Mike Wilgus won the NSCA National Championship.
