The Royal Air Force Football Association, also known as the RAF FA, is the governing body of football within the Royal Air Force.[1]

RAF Challenge Cup

The RAF Challenge Cup, held since 1920, is the foremost football cup competition for teams affiliated to the RAF FA.[2] As of 2024, the current holders are RAF Brize Norton,[3] making them the most successful team in the competition with seven wins since its inception.

The competition has been held annually since its inception in 1920, with one exception, from 1939 to 1948 due to World War II and its aftermath.
