The Stirling & District AFA is split into four divisions, a Premier Division of 12 teams, Division One which contains 11 teams and the bottom two tiers, Division Two & Three which both contain 14 clubs respectively. Each league has two clubs which are automatically promoted/relegated between divisions with the exception of Division Three, from which there is no relegation. As a stand-alone Association and not part of Scotland's pyramid system, the Premier Division does not act as a feeder league and as such there is currently no promotion available.
The league setup for season 2017-18:
Level
League(s)/Division(s)
1
Stirling & District AFA Premier Division 12 clubs playing 22 games
2
Stirling & District AFA Division One 11 clubs playing 20 games
3
Stirling & District AFA Division Two 14 clubs playing 26 games
4
Stirling & District AFA Division Three 14 clubs playing 26 games
As well as the league, the association administers three cup competitions for teams in membership: the David McKinnon Memorial Trophy, the Mathieson Challenge Trophy & the JF Colley Cup. Additionally, each division compete in a pre-season League Cup to supplement their round-robin campaign.
In addition, member clubs are also likely to play in the Scottish Amateur Cup and one of the two district cups (East or West). Below are teams who have won these trophies, whilst playing in the Stirling & District AFA.
