The Assam Tea Planters' Association Shield, commonly known as the ATPA Shield Football Tournament or ATPA Shield, is an Indian annual football tournament held in Jorhat, Assam and organised by the Jorhat District Sports Association (JDSA). It is the third oldest football tournament of Assam after the Independence Day Cup and Bordoloi Trophy.

History

Since its inception in 1955, the ATPA Shield tournament has been very popular, involving some leading clubs from northeast India and the rest of the country. Kolkata giants East Bengal, Mohammedan and Mohun Bagan, as well as Goa's Dempo have competed in the tournament. The coveted shield was donated and hosted by Assam Tea Planters' Association (ATPA). From 1968, the tournament has been conducted by Jorhat District Sports Association.
