A 'select' team representing Lewis & Harris, periodically enters cup competitions organized by the North Caledonian Football Association.

This team should not be confused with the Western Isles representative team, which competes at the Island Games and usually selects players from both the Lewis & Harris and Uist & Barra amateur leagues.

As of 2017, the squad is managed by Kevin Anderson. The team, to date, has triumphed in one cup competition - when they won 1–0 against Golspie Sutherland in the final of the North Caledonian Cup at Dalmore park, Alness. The match, contested in November 2014, was broadcast with live commentary on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal.
