The South of Scotland Cup was an association football cup competition for clubs in the historic counties of Dumfriesshire, Wigtownshire, and Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.
The competition was a knock-out tournament and had its origins in the Southern Counties Cup consolation tournament; given the few clubs in the area, in 1927 it was decided to use the trophy as a second competitive cup, allowing the Southern Counties Cup finalists to take part as well.
The competition was not a success, despite having four clubs who were or would be members of the Scottish League. It only lasting until 1931, and the first competition did not even play to a conclusion. Even Dalbeattie Star's 5–0 win in the 1930 final did not attract much in the way of media attention.[1]
An attempt to revive the competition in 1937 as a replacement for the Southern Counties League was unsuccessful.[2]
