League structure

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

Cup Competitions

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.
