No trophy was awarded to the winner of the tournament, who instead received a diploma and could refer themselves as Vinder af Provinsmesterskabet i Fodbold or simply Provinsmester (English: Champions of the Provincial Football Championship).[2][3][4][1] The most successful club in the history of the tournament's 18 editions was B 1901, who participated in all national tournaments by winning the regional Lolland-Falster league championship, winning a total of 7 provincial titles and appearing as a losing finalist on 4 occasions.[3][5] As a result of the club's success, the Lolland-Falster FA became the most successful regional association, only fielding B 1901 as its representative during the tournament's entire duration.
Until 1927, the cup tournament was part of the Danish Championship play-off, Landspokalturneringen, and was held prior to the Danish National Championship semifinal (1914 and 1916) or final.[3][6] Beginning from the 1928-season, the regional championship became a separate tournament held alongside the Danish Championship (part of Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen i Fodbold), but still organised by the Danish FA, now under the official name of Provinsmesterskabsturneringen.[3]
In principle, the final of the tournament was scheduled to be played on a neutral ground, which occurred on 9 occasions, while the rest of the finals ended up being played at the home field of one of the teams in the final. Almost two-thirds of the finals (1916–18, 1920–22, 1924–26 and 1929–31) were played on a football field located in Odense.[7]
Throughout the competition's existence, the five regional football championship clubs from Bornholm FA (BBU), Funen FA (FBU), Jutland FA (JBU), Lolland-Falster FA (LFBU) and Zealand FA (SBU) participated after the end of normal league season, except for the years 1916–1920 (Bornholm FA) and 1931 (Jutland FA).[2][3] The 1915 edition was not played due to the limitations imposed as a consequence of World War I.[8][9] The tournament was abolished after the 1931 edition, where the Jutland FA representative, Esbjerg fB, withdrew from the competition due to lack of time in its schedule.[3]

Fra Landsfodboldturnering til Mesterskabsserien: Den første landsdækkende turnering fandt sted i 1912 under navnet Landsfodboldturneringen. Fodbolddanmark var dengang inddelt i lokalunioner, hvorfra hver vinder dystede om at komme med i Landsfodboldsturneringen. De fem københavnske klubber (AB, B93, B1903, Frem og KB) var overlegne i den periode, og derfor blev der i 1921 indført Provinsmesterskabet, som gav de jyske og fynske klubber chancen for en titel uden for den snævre københavnske kreds af landsmesterskabskandidater.

The ball had punctured, and as there was no reserve ball present, and the fact that FIF Hillerød was behind with four goals, a decision was made to end the game at this score with the acceptance of FIF Hillerød.
