The United Church Football Association (UCFA) was an Australian rules football competition based in the suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia from 1906 to 1977. The competition was formed in April 1906 when delegates of some football clubs connected to churches in Adelaide met to establish a Church Association. The initial six clubs were Clayton Congregational, East Adelaide Methodist, Stanley Street Congregational, St Giles' Presbyterian, St Luke's Church of England and St Mark's Church of England.

Stanley Shield

The Stanley Shield was awarded to the Champion team of the association from 1913. The shield was presented to the winner of a playoff between the A1 and A2 premiers. It was named after the Stanley Street team (later Thompson Memorial) which won three premierships in a row from 1910 to 1912.
