The large geographical distribution of the NCCU boundaries has ensured that Correspondence chess has thrived within the NCCU. Although most NCCU counties initially competed in the National Counties and District Correspondence Championships, in 1966/67 the first record appears of a NCCU correspondence competition. Although the winners of this first competition cannot be found, records show that Durham, Cheshire, Lancashire, Northumberland and Yorkshire competed – alongside the Isle of Man, who continued to compete until 1972.
Today two divisions continue, the Sinclair Shield for the first teams and the Turner Plaque for the second teams. Since 1981 the NCCU has also held an individual championship.
