The league runs five divisions (Divisions One to Five) and four cup competitions. The League Knock-out Cup is contested between teams in Divisions One and Two. Teams knocked out of this competition in the first three rounds (preliminary, first and second) are then entered into the Rose Bowl. The Seward Memorial Cup is contested between teams in Divisions Three and Four. Teams knocked out of this competition in the first three rounds are then entered into the Gardner Security Trophy.
