The Quilter Cup (formerly the Old Mutual Wealth Cup) is a rugby union trophy awarded to the winner of an annual fixture played in May between England and another national team or the Barbarians. It is currently held by the Barbarians since their victory in 2022.

The fixture was launched on 2 December 2015 when the RFU announced a four-year partnership with Old Mutual Wealth.[1]

The first Old Mutual Wealth Cup match was won by England, who beat Wales 27–13 at Twickenham Stadium on 29 May 2016.[2]

From 2018 the competition was renamed to reflect the new name of the sponsor Quilter plc.[3]
