The 2009 Milk Cup Tournament will run between 27 and 31 July. The Milk Cup is a prestigious association football tournament and is divided into three categories: Elite, Premier, and Junior for differing age groups.

The Elite section had six teams in 2009, divided into two groups of three followed by a playoff, whilst the Junior and Premier sections were contested by 24 and 20 teams, respectively. Each team played once on Monday and Tuesday as part of a league, from which the top eight teams qualified for the Milk Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday. The remainder of the teams qualify for other cups that run alongside the Milk Cup, with quarter-finals on the Wednesday, semi-finals on Thursday, and the finals on Friday.

• Elite – Under 19s – national sides
• Premier – Under 17s – club sides and national sides
• Junior – Under 15s – club sides and national sides

Clubs and national teams from anywhere in the world may compete on invitation.
