History 18 Mar 2026

Founded1928Preceded byPeople's Cup

The Israel State Cup traces its origins to 1928, when the Palestine Football Association established the People's Cup (Gvia HaAm) as the territory's inaugural nationwide knockout competition. Following Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, the tournament was renamed the Israel State Cup and has been contested continuously since, with the exception of occasional seasons. The competition underwent significant structural evolution, expanding from a limited number of participating clubs to eventually encompassing teams from all levels of Israeli football, from the top-tier Ligat Ha'Al to amateur divisions. In 1948, Maccabi Petah Tikva became the first club to win the State Cup after independence, defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv 1–0. The tournament's format shifted over decades, maintaining its single-elimination structure while accommodating the growing number of participating teams. Today, the Israel State Cup represents the most inclusive domestic cup competition in Israeli football, with over 180 teams competing across multiple rounds.

  • —1928 — People's Cup established as the first nationwide knockout football competition in Palestine
  • —1948 — Israel State Cup launched in its current form following Israeli independence; Maccabi Petah Tikva wins first post-independence edition
  • —1953 — Cup resumed after interruption due to factional disputes between Hapoel and Maccabi federations

  • —2016/17 — Hapoel Haifa defeats Kfar Kasem 6–0 in one of the competition's largest victories
  • —2024/25 — Hapoel Beer Sheva wins the State Cup, qualifying for UEFA Europa League

Competition Format 18 Mar 2026

Teams186European spots1

The Israel State Cup operates as a single-elimination knockout tournament featuring over 180 teams from across Israeli football's professional and semi-professional divisions. The competition unfolds over 13 rounds, beginning in late August and concluding with the final in May. Matches are played as single-leg encounters with no seeding, meaning lower-division teams can face top-tier opposition from the earliest rounds. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, matches proceed directly to extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shootout to determine the winner. The champion qualifies directly for the UEFA Europa League group stage, making the State Cup the primary pathway for Israeli clubs to access European continental competition.

Records 18 Mar 2026

Most titlesMaccabi Tel Aviv (24)

Maccabi Tel Aviv has appeared in 37 State Cup finals, winning 24 titles — the most successful record in the competition's history. Hapoel Tel Aviv ranks second with 16 titles, including two unmatched runs of three consecutive wins.

Analysis 18 Mar 2026

Current Season Analysis

Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva lead the 2024/25 Israel State Cup standings with identical records of three wins and nine points each. Maccabi Haifa holds the top position with a superior goal difference of +10, having scored 11 goals and conceded just one across their three matches. Hapoel Beer Sheva follows closely with a +5 goal difference, demonstrating strong attacking prowess with 7 goals scored. Kafr Qasim occupies third place with 9 points from four matches, having won three games and suffered one defeat, while Maccabi Tel Aviv sits fourth with two wins from two matches, boasting an impressive +10 goal difference with 10 goals for and none against.

The title race remains highly competitive, with multiple clubs capable of challenging for the trophy. Hapoel Umm al-Fahm and Maccabi Herzliya both hold 6 points from their respective matches, keeping themselves in contention. The tournament structure, which includes teams from all levels of Israeli football, creates unpredictable matchups where lower-division sides occasionally produce shock results against top-tier opposition. The current standings reflect the early-stage nature of the competition, with many teams still having several matches to play as the tournament progresses through its group stages toward the knockout rounds.

Tournament Structure and Significance

The Israel State Cup's unique format — encompassing over 180 teams from professional, semi-professional, and amateur divisions — makes it fundamentally different from most European cup competitions. This inclusive structure means that clubs from Israel's lower divisions compete alongside top-flight teams from the outset, creating opportunities for David-versus-Goliath encounters. The single-elimination format ensures that any team can theoretically reach the final, though historically the top-tier clubs from Ligat Ha'Al dominate the competition's latter stages.

The tournament's 13-round structure spans from late August through May, with early rounds featuring matches between lower-division teams before the top-flight clubs enter the competition. This extended timeline allows for gradual progression and maintains fan interest throughout the season. The absence of seeding in the draw adds an element of unpredictability that distinguishes the State Cup from league-based competitions, where standings determine matchups.

Historical Dominance and Club Records

Maccabi Tel Aviv's record of 24 State Cup titles places them among the most successful clubs in Israeli football history. Their 37 final appearances demonstrate remarkable consistency in reaching the competition's showpiece matches. The club's dominance reflects both their sustained presence in the top division and their traditional strength in cup competitions. Hapoel Tel Aviv, with 16 titles and two unmatched runs of three consecutive victories, represents the second most successful force in the tournament's history. These two clubs' combined 40 titles account for a substantial portion of the State Cup's 77-year history, illustrating the concentration of success among Israel's traditional powerhouses.

The competition has also produced surprising winners, with clubs from lower divisions occasionally advancing through the early rounds. However, the final stages have consistently featured teams from Ligat Ha'Al, reflecting the quality gap between professional and semi-professional football in Israel. The 2024/25 season's involvement of Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Beer Sheva, and Maccabi Tel Aviv among the leading contenders continues this tradition, though the tournament's inclusive format ensures that unexpected challengers remain possible.

European Qualification and International Impact

The Israel State Cup's role in European competition qualification has elevated its importance in recent years. The champion's direct entry into the UEFA Europa League group stage provides significant commercial and competitive benefits to the winning club. This European pathway has intensified competition for the title, as clubs recognize the financial and sporting advantages associated with continental competition. Hapoel Beer Sheva's 2024/25 victory and subsequent Europa League qualification exemplifies the tournament's significance in Israeli football's international ambitions.

The tournament's format — requiring teams to navigate 13 rounds against diverse opposition — serves as a test of adaptability and consistency. Clubs must adjust their tactical approaches when facing opponents from different divisions, as the stylistic variations between Ligat Ha'Al teams and lower-division sides can present unexpected challenges. This competitive diversity, combined with the single-elimination format's inherent unpredictability, makes the Israel State Cup one of world football's most open and competitive domestic cup competitions.
