Sheffield Challenge Cup

(became known as Sheffield Senior Cup)

Began in 1877, it was the first regional competition and is the third oldest cup competition in the world (after the FA Cup and Scottish FA Cup).

Wednesday were the great power in the early years, but after the introduction of league football, both Wednesday and United only entered their reserves, and eventually withdrew completely.
