Challenge Cup

The Leicestershire Challenge Cup is the top county cup competition in Leicestershire. It is currently open to all teams higher than step 7 in the non-league pyramid but in past seasons it also included invited teams from the Leicestershire Senior League.

It was first played in the 1950/51 season and during the early years was invitation only and consisted of a small number of teams.

Since the 1991/92 season the Challenge Cup has been sponsored by Westerby Investment Management and is known as the Westerby Challenge Cup or Westerby Cup.
