The 1986 Rous Cup was the second staging of the Rous Cup international football competition, centered on the then-traditional annual game between rivals England and Scotland.

The cup was won by England, who defeated the previous year's winners Scotland 2–1. This was the final time in which the two nations would only contest the cup; from 1987 onward, a third team was also invited to participate.[1]
