The Egyptian Super Cup is an Egyptian association football trophy contested in an annual match between the champions of the Egyptian Premier League and the winners of the Egyptian Cup. If a team wins The Double (both the Premier League and the Cup), then the Double winner plays the Premier League runner-up. The match is contested one week before starting the football season, and has been played since 2000/2001.
