The Slovak Cup (Slovak: Slovenský Pohár) is the main knockout cup competition in Slovak football.
The competition was first disputed in 1961. Until 1993, the winner of the Slovak Cup would face the winner of the Czech Cup in the Czechoslovak Cup final, the winner of which would be Czechoslovakia's representative in the Cup Winners Cup (Slovan Bratislava won the tournament in 1968/1969).
The winner currently qualifies for the UEFA Europa League.

Famous quotes containing the word cup:
“Sunday morning may be cheery enough, with its extra cup of coffee and litter of Sunday newspapers, but there is always hanging over it the ominous threat of 3 P.M., when the sun gets around to the back windows and life stops dead in its tracks.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
