The Senior Challenge Cup was first competed in the 2006-07 season. Prior to this, the Challenge Trophy had been the most senior competition in the county. Those competitions are the only competitions competed across the whole county. Most other challenge cup competitions in the county are competed for by clubs according to their location in the county. County rules state that clubs that are south of Thornbury compete in the southern section and the rest of the county compete in the northern section.
