The Lancashire County Football Association Cup (commonly known as the Lancashire Senior Cup) is a football knockout tournament involving teams from Lancashire, England.[1] It is a County Cup competition of the Lancashire County Football Association and involves Premier League clubs and Football League clubs. However, these days the bigger Football League clubs generally field their reserve teams.

Lancashire currently has 5 EPL (1st division) teams, 12 EFL (2nd, 3rd and 4th division) teams and 4 NL (5th and 6th division) teams - this means not every club enters in concurrent years - the tournament starts at the R16 so higher up clubs often have to miss years to allow lower down clubs a chance to play in the competition.
