The County Antrim Shield could be held before the start of next season's Danske Bank Premiership season.
The competition's organisers are exploring the "viability" of holding the Shield ahead of the proposed October 17 league start date.
"The Co Antrim FA is currently engaging with member clubs to explore the viability of arranging the ToalsBet.Com Co Antrim Shield in advance of the start date of the season, with all fixtures being concluded ahead of the opening league fixture in the NIFL Premiership," read the statement.
"The Association will continue to engage with members clubs as well as the national governing body and will make a further comment in due course."
