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 three leagues in Quebec of which the full list of teams is not currently available. There are 212 teams on the list. It is remarkable to note that in excess of 200 teams were 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.
