History and format

edit

The first edition of the Icelandic Women's Cup championship took place in 1975, and was won by Þór Akureyri. All the rounds are played with a single game knockout format. The final four and the finals are played on a single weekend.[1]

Finally, the winner of the Icelandic Cup championship, or the runner-up if the same team wins both the cup and national championship, will then face the winner of the Úrvalsdeild kvenna championship in a single game to determine the winner of the Icelandic Supercup championship in the beginning of the next season.[2]

Sponsorship

edit

The Cup was known as Geysir bikarinn for sponsorship reasons from 2018 to 2020.[3]

In January 2021, VÍS was announced as the new sponsor for the cup competition.[4]
