One of the original aspirations of the Northern Counties Chess Union was the organisation of an inter-county team championship. At an NCCU Executive Meeting held on 02/12/1899, in Leeds, the committee chairman, A. E. Moore, of Manchester, offered to provide a challenge trophy of the value of 20 guineas, for competition between teams representing the counties in the Union.  It was first contested in the 1900-01 season.
