The competition was first proposed on 20 July 1871 byC. W. Alcock at a meeting ofThe Football Association committee. The tournament was first played in the1871–72 season and is the world'soldest association football competition.^[2] The 1899 match betweenDerby County andSheffield United atCrystal Palace was the 28th final and the penultimate one of the 19th century. Derby County had been runners-up in the previous season's competition while Sheffield United were appearing in the final for the first time.^[3]

Derby County and Sheffield United were both members of theFootball League First Division. In the1898–99 league championship, Derby amassed 35 points to finish in ninth place, ten points behind championsAston Villa. Sheffield United had won the league title in 1897–98 but had struggled in 1898–99 and finished in 16th place with 29 points, just above the relegation placings.^[4]

Both teams were selected by a committee with the club secretary in charge on match days. Derby's secretary wasHarry Newbould who, in 1900, became their first formally appointedteam manager.^[5] Sheffield United retained the policy of selection by committee until 1932. In 1899, their secretary wasJohn Nicholson, who was newly appointed.^[6]
