Format

edit

It was created in the 2008–09 season by Cyprus Football Association. Participation in this cup is optional, so the number of participating clubs differs each year. The competition is a knockout tournament. The matches in the first two rounds are single-legged and the matches in quarterfinals and semifinals are two-legged. The final is a single match played at a neutral ground. The winner and the runner-up of the cup receive a respectful amount of money by the CFA as a bonus prize. The sponsor of the competition is Coca-Cola.
