The 1875–76 Edinburgh Football Association Cup was the first edition of the first regional football tournament played to Football Association laws.
Background
The first Association match in Edinburgh was between sides raised by Queen's Park F.C. and Clydesdale F.C., on 27 December 1873, with a view to promoting Association laws;[1] hitherto the existing football clubs in Edinburgh, such as Edinburgh Academical Football Club and schools such as Merchiston Castle School, had played under rugby union rules.[2]
The Edinburgh Football Association was founded on 11 September 1875 at the Buchanan Hotel with four members:
- the 3rd Edinburgh Rifle Volunteers;
- the Thistle;
- Hanover, and
- Heart of Midlothan.
The original intention was to form "the Eastern branch of the Scottish Football Association", but as the Scottish FA refused permission to use the title, the Edinburgh Football Association was adopted as a name instead.[3]
The Hibernian F.C. was refused permission to enter the EFA on the basis that "they played rough and affiliated clubs were asked not to play them".[4] One of the key influences on the 3rd E.R.V. was John Hope, who had founded the Foot-Ball Club of Edinburgh in 1824,[5] and who had raised a regiment which had been absorbed into the 3rd in 1867. Hope was staunchly Protestant, and led the opposition to having an "Irish" club in the association.[6]
Semi-finals
The EFA set up a competition for its members and all four entered. The first match "for the Eastern branch trophy" was played on 20 November 1875, between the Thistle and the Heart of Midlothian, and took place on the eastern part of the Meadows, as almost all of the early matches in Edinburgh did. Thistle won 1–0.[7]
The other match, a de facto semi-final, on 11 December saw the 3rd E.R.V. beat Hanover 2–0, also on the Meadows.[8]
Final
The final was played on the Meadows on 11 March 1876, the same day as the 1876 Scottish Cup final. The Edinburgh final proved to be a one-sided affair, with the 3rd E.R.V. winning 6–0. The play was "very fast" and the forward play of the Volunteers "deserving of much praise".[9]
