Stirlingshire football

Nearly every senior team from Falkirk & District competed in this competition. The obvious exceptions were Denny & Dunipace who instead played in the Stirling & District Cup.. All matches were played at neutral venues with the exception of the 1886-87 First Round. For the first two seasons the Falkirk Charity Cup Committee arranged an extra match based upon how well players performed in the competition. The competition was resurrected for one year only in 1913-14.
