A tournament for Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man and Isle of Wight's women's football teams will return next summer.
The Cherry Godfrey Cup will take place on 26 and 27 June, two years after the inaugural event in Jersey.
Isle of Man beat the hosts on penalties in 2024 to win the title at Springfield.
The event is a chance for the islands to play one another on a more regular basis and is held in the year when the Island Games does not take place.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase Guernsey's new 'Home of Football' facility on an inter-island stage and to welcome players, supporters and officials from across the islands," Guernsey FA chief executive Gary Roberts said.
"We are proud to be part of a tournament that shines a light on women's football and strengthens the sporting ties between our communities."
