The Aberdeenshire Shield, like the Aberdeenshire Cup, is a competition for football clubs in and around Aberdeenshire.
The winners are awarded the Fleming Shield, which was originally awarded to the winners of the Fleming Charity Shield competition - last played in 1929. The competition was first held in 1990–91 Highland Football League season and the winners were Cove Rangers.
The Aberdeenshire Shield was originally a secondary competition for clubs in the region not in membership of the SFL and SPL, primarily clubs in the Highland League. However in recent years, teams such as Aberdeen, Peterhead, Banks O' Dee and Aberdeen University from the SPFL and North Region SJFA (now the North of Scotland League) have entered the competition. The final of the tournament is normally contested at a suitable neutral venue.
The current holders are Fraserburgh, who are also the most successful club overall, with eleven wins.
