Modus
All senior men's teams from the Middle Franconia region were eligible to compete in the cup, except fully professional sides, meaning clubs in the Fußball-Bundesliga and 2nd Bundesliga. The winner of the Mittelfranken Cup qualified for the Bavarian Cup.
The Mittelfranken Cup in turn sub-divided into three regional cups, these regions being:
- Nürnberg/Frankenhöhe
- Erlangen/Pegnitzgrund
- Neumarkt/Jura
The three winners plus one of the runners-up advanced to the Bezirks semi-finals, the winners of the two semi-finals then advanced to the Bezirks final.
In 2007, the SV Seligenporten became the first team from Middle Franconia to win the Bavarian Cup. In 2008, the SpVgg Ansbach became the second team from the region to reach the Bavarian Cup final.
With the expansion of the Bavarian Cup from 2009–10 onwards, the Mittelfranken Cub ceased to be held.
