The Derbyshire County FA Senior Cup is a local county football cup for teams based in the county of Derbyshire. Founded in 1883-1884, the first competition was won by Staveley, who beat Derby Midland 2-1 in the final. 1885-1886 saw Heeley from Yorkshire win the competition. It was not until 1892 that the county's top club Derby County first won the trophy. This delay was partially helped by a disagreement during Derby County's first season 1884-1885. After beating Derby St. Luke's and Wirksworth, Derby County were drawn at home to Long Eaton Rangers in the third round. The club applied for a week's delay in playing the fixture, however Long Eaton Rangers claimed the tie stating that they weren't aware of any change in date and had arrived on the set date to play. A correspondent of the 'Derby Daily Telegraph' wrote that the referee had arrived to take charge on the re-arranged date. The Derbyshire County FA awarded the tie to Long Eaton Rangers and the following season Derby County played in the Birmingham and District FA Senior Cup and set up their own Charity Cup. Players also boycotted playing for the County FA team in protest. It wasn't until 1887-1888 that Derby County next played in their own county's competition, where again in the third round they were drawn to play Long Eaton Rangers who won the tie 4-1.

Staveley F.C. were a football club in Staveley, a village in Derbyshire, England. They were active in the 1880s and 1890s, notably being founder members of the Midland Counties League in 1890 and reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup in 1886. The club were nicknamed 'Old Foot and Mouth' by opponents due to the highly competitive and hard tackling nature of their players and the vociferously partisan nature of their supporters. Staveley were initially successful but failed in their bid to be accepted into The Football League, partly due to the village's small population and partly due to their decision to sell a large chunk of their land to the railways to enable the building of a new line to Chesterfield.
