Dr Maitland Moir, honorary president, presented the ADFA with a cup which ultimately became the property of Aberdeen after their second win in 1889.[2] After this the ADFA bought a new trophy which was first presented after the final in 1890.[3][4] The whereabouts of the original trophy is currently unknown.
