The IFA Shield is a football competition organized by the Indian Football Association, the football governing body in the state of . The IFA came into existence in 1893, and was named after the association. The IFA Shield tournament was started in the same year. It is the third oldest football tournament in India, after and , and is among the oldest football competitions in the world.

History
The royal houses of Patiala and Cooch Behar, A.A. Apcar of Armenian Club and J Sutherland of had financially contributed for the inception of the Shield. The coveted shield was designed by Walter Locke & Co. () and made by Messrs Elkington & Co. ().

During the initial years of the competition, the IFA Shield was dominated by British Army teams and the Royal Irish Rifles defeated W.D.R.A. to lift the first IFA Shield in 1893. However, their stranglehold over the Shield was broken in 1911, when Mohun Bagan became the first all-Indian side to win the IFA Shield by defeating East Yorkshire Regiment by 2–1.

(2006). 9780670058747, . .
That was a historic moment for Indian football as well the struggle for independence, as the natives beat the Englishmen in their own game. While the Royal Irish Rifles remains the most successful side with 5 titles, East Bengal Club has won the IFA Shield a record 29 times.

From 2015 to 2018, the IFA Shield was designed as an youth tournament wherein youth teams of all divisions were allowed to participate. The decision was taken by IFA due to busy schedule of AIFF which includes Indian Super League, , I-League 2, State leagues and Super Cup among others. In 2020, the tournament was once again organised as a senior event.
