The Littlejohn Vase is competed for by university shinty teams on an annual basis, in a one-day event traditionally held at a different university every year, although since 2007 it has been held at St Andrews.
Due to its value a stand in quaich is given to the winning side as insurance costs mean the cup may not leave Aberdeen.
In 1905 it was bequeathed to Aberdeen University Shinty Club by Alexander Littlejohn.
