Arthurian League: The Old Berkhamstedians compete in the fifth division of the Old Boys' public school league. The Arthurian League season runs from late September to early April. 
 
Cup Competitions: Arthur Dunn, Junior League, and the London Old Boys Cup. 
 
Arthur Dunn Cup: Arthur Tempest Blakiston Dunn (1861-1902), arguably the best footballer of his generation, was dedicated to instilling the qualities of sportsmanship into the young men coming through the public schools. After his untimely death at the age of 41, a football competition between the old boys of certain schools was inaugurated in his memory. The first final was held at the Crystal Palace in 1903 and has continued at various venues ever since. 

The Langley-Farmery Cup : 6 a side tournament, which is usually played on the 27th December each year at the School's astroturf pitch.  Meeting at 11.00 a.m., for the first match at 11.30 a.m.  If you would like to enter a team or just turn up and play on the day contact James Langley (james.langley@accenture.com).
