The Iranian Super Cup is an Iranian association football trophy awarded to the winner of a match between the Iranian Premier League's season champion and the winner of the Hazfi Cup. It is similar to numerous other Super Cup tournaments held in other countries.
The tournament is new in Iran, and only one edition of it has taken place so far. The current holders of the trophy are Saba Battery F.C., who defeated Foolad F.C. 4–0.
The next edition of the Iranian Super Cup was planned to be played on August 10, 2007 between the 2006–07 league champions Saipa F.C. and the Hazfi Cup winners Sepahan F.C. but this match was cancelled. The second edition was held in the Azadi Stadium between the 2007–08 league champions Persepolis F.C. and the 2008 Hazfi Cup winners Esteghlal F.C., which was cancelled again.
