The finals were played at either Home Park, Plymouth or St James Park, Exeter until 1950s. Plymouth Argyle and Torquay United's first team has won the competition in 1903 and 1922 respectively. [2]

History

Originally the county cup competition for the Devon County F.A., it has been superseded in importance by the Premier Cup and St Luke's Challenge Cup. The St Luke's Challenge Cup is open to affiliated teams of the Football League and steps 1-6 Leagues affiliated to Devon County F.A. Clubs may enter one team per cup competition only. The Premier and Senior Cup competitions are open to all affiliated teams of the Devon County F.A. [3]

After 1970 the introduction of the Devon F.A. Premier Cup and the initial restriction to senior teams (i.e. no reserves initially), meant that those clubs higher up the English League pyramid no longer entered. [4]
