The most prestigious competition was the Fife Junior Cup. This was first organised by the Kirkcaldy Junior FA in 1885 as the Kirkcaldy Junior Cup and in 1893 the competition was opened up to all clubs in the county and renamed the Fife Junior Cup. In 2009-10 and 2010-11 it wasn't competed for due to severe weather and was afterwards simply dropped from the calendar.

The Cowdenbeath and Dunfermline Junior FAs were also two district Associations that opened up their competitions to all clubs in Fife. The Cowdenbeath Junior Cup was viewed as being as important as the Fife Junior Cup but like that it was dropped after 2008 although the trophy was reused for the revived League Cup competition. The Dunfermline Junior FA organised two competitions, the Dunfermline Junior Cup, later known as the West Fife Junior Cup, and the Dunfermline Junior Shield which was renamed the Fife Junior Shield after one season.

The Montrave Cup, was also known as the Gilmour Cup, after the honorary president of the East Fife Junior FA and the East of Fife Junior Cup.

The Martin-White Cup was known as the Balruddery Cup in its first season in 1893-94 and was competed for by clubs in the East of Fife.

The Mitchell Cup competition existed between 1937 and 1967 but for a number of seasons in the 1950s the trophy was awarded to the winners of the Fife Junior League Cup and Fife Junior Consolation Cup.

The Lochgelly Shield was later competed for as a Juvenile competition.
