Clubs which are not full members of the SFA may still qualify for the tournament by winning the East of Scotland or South of Scotland senior leagues, or the South & East of Scotland Cup-Winners Shield. Clubs that are members of the Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA) have been able to qualify since 2007 by winning the Scottish Junior Cup or as champions of the top division in one of the SJFA's three regions. Two junior clubs, Banks O' Dee and Girvan, are also full SFA members and therefore qualify automatically. Since 2015, the winners of the Scottish Amateur Cup are also eligible to qualify.
