The Buckingham Charity Football Cup dates from 1927 and was originally known as the Buckingham Hospital Cup.

The firm of F.N. Hiller Provided a magnificent cup for the winners, the first of whom were Quainton.

In 1932 it was decided to run a Junior Cup Competition for the smaller villages in the area, the first winners being Steeple Claydon. Quainton also won this trophy, three times in-a-row, in 1935, 1936 and 1937, thus becoming one of only a handful of Clubs to win both Cups - the others being Hanslope, Steeple Claydon and Winslow United.

Before the Second World War, it became "The" cup to compete for locally,  attracting growing support from local businesses. it was quite common in those days to find a celebrity taking the field to kick off the proceedings.

After a break due to the War, the Hospital Cup lost its original name with the advent of the National Heath Service and became the Buckingham Charity Cup. Funds were then raised for a variety of charities, not just the local cottage hospital.

Today, competing Clubs are drawn not only from Buckinghamshire but also from Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.

This (annual) football competition is run solely to raise funds for charitable and philanthropic organisations and currently generates over £3000 per season.

Each club is given the opportunity to nominate a charity, whether local or national, to benefit from the monies raised.

Entry to the Competition is by invitation.
