The Renault Clio Cup Series is a single-make racing competition developed and overseen by Alpine Racing (previously known as Renault Sport until 2020). This series emerged from the consolidation of four existing Renault Clio national cups along with the Clio Cup Europe.

National cups

More than 22 Renault cups have been established, covering countries such as Belgium, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

French Cup

The French Clio Cup has been contested since 2004 but traces its origins back to 1966 with various Renault vehicles: Renault 8 Gordini (1966–70), Renault 12 Gordini (1971–74), Renault 5 LS kitée (1975–76), Renault 5 Alpine (1977–81), Renault 5 Alpine Turbo (1982–84), Renault 5 GT Turbo (1985–90), Renault Clio 16S (1991–96), and Renault Mégane Coupé 16V (1997–2000). The championship was on hiatus between 2001 and 2003.

Belgian Cup

Initiated in 2001 as the Renault Sport Clio Cup Elf, this cup was discontinued in 2005 due to insufficient entries but was revived in 2008 under the name Renault Clio Cup Belux featuring six events.

The Renault Cup’s roots date back to 1987 with the Renault 5 GT Turbo Cup, co-organized with the Netherlands. The Benelux series transitioned into the Belgian Cup using vehicles such as the Renault Clio 16S (1991–96), followed by the Renault Mégane Coupé 16V (1997–2000), and ultimately adopting the current Clio Cup format from 2001 to 2004 and again from 2008 onward.

United Kingdom

Maggie Loynd claimed victory in the first Renault 5 TL race held at Brands Hatch in 1974. Formerly named the Courier Connections Renault UK Clio Cup, this series has supported the British Touring Car Championship and made a return to UK tracks in 2024 under MSV’s (MSV Trackdays) management.

It also previously acted as a support series for the British round of the World Series by Renault.

Throughout its history, the championship has featured these models: Renault 5 TL (1974–1977), Renault 5 TS (1977–1985), Renault 5 GT Turbo (1985–1990), Renault Clio 16V Mark I (1991–1995), Renault Sport Spider (1996–1999), Clio Renaultsport 172 (2000–2001), Clio Renaultsport 182 (2002–2006), Clio Renaultsport 197 (2007–2009), and Clio Renaultsport 200 (2010–2019).

Prominent former champions include Andy Priaulx, Jason Plato, and Tom Onslow-Cole. The series also drew attention from notable figures such as Andrew Ridgeley of pop duo Wham! in 1985 and introduced actor Rowan Atkinson to competitive racing. Atkinson participated intermittently from 1984 through 1990; his car was featured in his television program Driven Man, later returned for a reunion race in 2004, and was auctioned by Bonhams in 2005.

Spanish Cup

Known as the Copa Nacional Renault, Spain’s longest-standing circuit racing championship began in 1969 alongside the inauguration of the Jarama Circuit. Primarily managed by FASA-Renault and Renault Sport Spain, it continued operating during its final decade through organizers Vline, Codony Sport, and Driveland Events. Its last season under national regulations took place in 2020, branded as Renault Sport Clio Cup Spain over its final two decades.
