Keep - Up coming tournament that is a month and a bit a way and has had an article every year since its creation in 1990. Meets WP:NSEASONS. NZFC^(talk) 21:49, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per NZ Footballs Conscience. It's completely normal to create articles for upcoming competitions once information about them can be reliably sourced. Nzd (talk) 22:11, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- After reading WP:GNG and WP:NSPORTS, the article meets the notability guidelines applicable because of the coverage in reliable sources it has received. It could do with improving, a section on the recent controversies wouldn't go amiss. I understand the point about having just been announced but a similar stance could be taken on many sporting events that have not taken place yet, off the top of my head 2018–19 Scottish Cup, 2018–19 FA Cup, 2018–19 Isthmian League, 2018–19 Highland Football League would all fall under the same bracket. If the consensus is against keeping the article, I'd suggest that it – and similar articles – be redirected until they have received the necessary coverage in reliable sources. The only problem with that is that there would be a chance that the articles are just recreated anyway. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 22:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There has been plenty of coverage in WP:RS about how this season's competition will include two English clubs (BBC, STV). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 03:58, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - obviously. Next iteration of an obviously notable tournament, which will definitely happen and be notable -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:22, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - CRYSTAL doesn't apply. Giant Snowman 07:45, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
