FA Trophy

F.A. Trophy 1935-2006

The F.A. Trophy was a gift of the English F.A. in 1933. This followed a match between England and Italy, played in Rome in May 1933, to where a number of pro-British Maltese supporters travelled to support the English side. In recognition, the Football Association donated a silver trophy to be played on the model of the F.A. Cup. This competition is now played on a knock-out basis between the clubs in the Premier and First Division.

Between 1995 and 2002 the competition carried the name of the sponsor and was therefore known as Rothmans Trophy.
