1937-38 List of Allan Cup eligible teams

This is a list of the teams that were eligible in the 1937-38 season for the Allan Cup, emblematic of the senior amateur hockey championship of Canada.

The list is not complete. There are at least five leagues in Quebec of which the list of teams is not currently available.

There are 185 teams on the list, which means that counting the missing leagues there were in excess of 200 teams eligible for the Allan Cup that season.

Intermediate teams in Western Canada had stopped competing for the Cup about five years before, instead playing off for a separate cup - the Edmonton Journal Trophy. Intermediate teams still played for the Allan Cup in Ontario and Quebec, which accounts for the large number of teams in these two provinces.

There were ten districts in Canada, five in the west and five in the east.
