The Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup is a county cup competition involving teams within the Sheffield and Hallamshire County Football Association. Originally named the Sheffield Challenge Cup, it is the 5th oldest surviving cup competition in the world, after the FA Cup (1871–72), the Scottish FA Cup (1873–74), the East of Scotland Shield (1875–76) and the Birmingham Senior Cup (1876-77).[a][1]

Sheffield and Hallamshire County Football Association members at levels 5–11 of the English football league system are currently eligible to compete in the competition.

History

[edit]

The inaugural tournament was won by The Wednesday, who defeated Heeley 4–3 in the 1876–77 final.[2] From 1893–94 to 1895–96, the competition was played in a league format. From 1925–26 to 1945–46 the competition was split into two, with the Sheffield & Hallamshire Invitation Cup acting as the more senior competition. The current champions are Worksop Town, who won their record 14th title after defeating Penistone Church 5–0 in the 2023–24 final.[3]

Worksop Town, along with Frickley Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday is joint-record holder for the most titles won.
