The Lewis & Harris Football Association oversees the Lewis & Harris League,[1] an annual football competition featuring clubs from the Lewis and Harris islands, situated off the coast of Scotland. Differing from traditional winter schedules, this league, like many other northern amateur leagues, operates during the summer months.

Comprising eight clubs from Lewis and one from Harris, the league holds full licensing from the Scottish Amateur Football Association. Participating clubs also engage annually in the Highland Amateur Cup, with member clubs having clinched the title eight times throughout its history.

Western Isles Cup
The Western Isles Cup is a competition open to all clubs in the Western Isles, including teams from the Uist & Barra Amateur Football Association.
The competition was previously known as the Co-op Cup due to sponsorship by the Co-op. From 2025, the tournament has been sponsored by MAL Civils, a civil engineering company based in the west of Scotland.

Eilean Fraoch Cup
The Eilean Fhraoich Cup is a distinctive competition within the Lewis and Harris Football League. What sets this cup apart is that players represent their home village, regardless of which football club they are signed to. Notably, the town clubs do not enter the competition.
The name Eilean Fhraoich, which translates to "Heather Isle" in Scottish Gaelic, is another name for the Isle of Lewis.

A 'select' team representing Lewis & Harris periodically enters cup competitions organized by the North Caledonian Football Association.
This team is not the same as the Western Isles representative team, which competes at the Island Games and usually selects players from both the Lewis & Harris and Uist & Barra amateur leagues.
As of 2017, the squad is managed by Kevin Anderson. The team, to date, has triumphed in one cup competition - when they won 1–0 against Golspie Sutherland in the final of the North Caledonian Cup at Dalmore Park, Alness. The match, contested in November 2014, was broadcast with live commentary on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal.
