Research says that the Scottish Cup is the oldest trophy in the world, minted in 1885. Yet it appears Queen's Park won the first trophy in the season 1873/74!

Yes Queen's Park still play in the Scottish Football League (3rd Division) at Hampden, national stadium of Scottish football.
Queen's Park maintains its amateur code. This season Queen's Park play Rangers 4 times at least.

The original trophy was stolen and never recovered so a new one had to be commissioned.
