FA Amateur Cup

The FA Amateur Cup was a national knockout competition just for strictly amateur status clubs (clubs who did not pay players).

The competition ran from 1893/94 until 1973/74 when the FA abolished the distinction between professional and amateur clubs. It was replaced by the FA Vase competition which started in 1974/75.

No Leicestershire based team has ever reached the final.

In the season pages I’ll only be showing the results of Leicestershire based teams.
