The winners were Rotherham United, who defeated Shrewsbury Town 2–1 in the final.
The competition began on 25 September 1995 and ended with the final on 14 April 1996.
The tournament begins with clubs divided into a Northern and a Southern section, and teams entering a group stage. Each section then gradually eliminates the qualifying teams in knock-out fashion until each has a winning finalist. At this point, the two winning finalists face each other in the combined final for the honour of the trophy.
