The Manchester FA Senior Cup (originally known as the Manchester and District Challenge Cup, later the Manchester Cup) is an annual football tournament held between the clubs of the Manchester Football Association which was first played in 1885; the first winners were Hurst who beat Newton Heath LYR in the final. As of 2025, the competition has been on hiatus since the 2015/16 season was abandoned due to the Final not being able to be arranged.
Organisation
The competition featured the major professional clubs of the Manchester area — Manchester United (as Newton Heath LYR until 1892 and Newton Heath until 1902), Manchester City (as well as Ardwick until 1894), Bolton Wanderers, Bury, Oldham Athletic, and Stockport County — until 1970, after which only non-league clubs entered. The Senior Cup was not held from 1979 to 1998, but was reintroduced as a reserve team tournament for the six professional clubs, typically in round-robin format with a final usually held at the end of the season in early May.

In 1958, the five Senior clubs currently involved met together to put forward a proposal that the format of the Manchester Senior Cup should be changed. The proposal was that two of the five senior clubs involved (Manchester United, Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers, Bury and Oldham Athletic) should, in sequence, play in the competition as a one-off Final. The teams would choose their first teams and charge first team prices. The format was approved by the full (Manchester County FA) Council and the Football Association gave its approval
