Stewartry Football League
A Kirkcudbrightshire based league, this competition was formed in 1894–95 by St. Cuthbert Wanderers, Barholm Rovers, 6th Galloway Rifle Volunteers, Vale of Fleet and Douglas Wanderers. The first season's competition was once again unfinished.
In 1895–96 St. Cuthbert Wanderers, Douglas Wanderers and Barholm Rovers were the sole entrants and finished in that order.
The league's last season, 1896–97, saw Barholm Rovers replaced by the returning 6th Galloway Rifle Volunteers, who duly won the St Cuthbert's Cup.
