The final was generally a Renfrewshire derby contested between the two largest teams in the county, Paisley's St Mirren and Greenock side Morton.
St Mirren and Greenock Morton qualified automatically and each team competed with one of the finalist teams from a local amateur tournament, the Victoria Cup.
On this occasion amateurs Bellaire defeated St Mirren at Love Street with a 1–0 victory.
[1] In the 1953–54 season, Babcock & Wilcox were the only team outwith St Mirren and Morton to win it since Port Glasgow were triumphant in 1909.
Despite this, the Renfrewshire Cup continued until it was last contested in 2014, when St Mirren won the trophy at Cappielow, beating Morton 1–0.
