The Inter-County League was formed on 3 February 1905 by five Scottish League clubs from the counties of of Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire. Due to fixtures not being completed, it was decided to organise the competition in 1906-07 on a knock-out basis for the Inter-County Shield. Unfortunately this also faltered and that competition was not completed either.

 

The second version of the Inter County League was formed in 1916-17 by the four West of Scotland League clubs that didn't take part in that season's Western Cup competition.
