The 2018 Turkish Women's Cup was the second edition of the Turkish Women's Cup, an invitational women's football tournament held annually in Turkey. It took place from 27 February to 7 March 2018.[1]

Format[edit]

The twelve invited teams were split into three groups to play a round-robin tournament. Points awarded in the group stage follow the standard formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a loss. In the case of two teams being tied on the same number of points in a group, their head-to-head result determine the higher place.
