City of Leicester Shield
This competition started in the 1903/04 season as the Borough of Leicester Shield when the former Shield competition was split into separate City and County Competitions. For the first two seasons all teams in the Leicester area who were not in the Senior or Junior cups participated. From 1905/06 this became a competition for the top Leicester teams in the Mutual and Town Leagues (these leagues did not seem to qualify for the Junior Cup).

There was no Borough of Leicester Shield competition between 1914/15 and 1918/19 seasons due to the First World War. When the competition resumed in 1919/20 it had changed it’s name due to Leicester being granted City status in 1919.
