Palestine Cup
Introduction The '''Palestine Cup''' is the main national association football competition in Palestine. It is sanctioned by the Palestinian Football Association. Past competitions were more expansive including clubs from all tiers of Palestinian football. For the 2010–11 season the PFA restricted participation to just the 12 teams of the 2010–11 West Bank Premier League.
Format The format of the 2010–11 Palestine Cup featured a group stage with two groups of six teams. After one round of play where each team in the group had played each other once, the top two teams based on points accumulated advanced to the semifinal stage. Semifinals were a two-legged affair with the aggregate winners advancing to a one-off final.
Past winners There are two competitions, the '''Gaza Strip Cup''' for clubs in the Gaza Strip, and the '''West Bank Cup''' for clubs in the West Bank. Since 2015, a two-legged '''Palestine Cup''' final is played between the cup winners of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.===Gaza Strip Cup===+Gaza Strip CupFinalWinnerScoreRunner-upRef.1997Khadamat Rafah1998'''Not known'''1999Al-Ittihad Shejaia0–0(3–2 p.)Shabab Rafah2000Shabab Khan Younes2–0Shabab Rafah2001–02'''Not known'''2003Shabab Rafah4–2Khadamat Rafah2004'''Not known'''2005–06Shabab Rafah2–0Shabab JabaliaShabab Rafah4–0Shabab JabaliaShabab Rafah won 6–0 on aggregate2007'''Not known'''2008'''Not known'''2009'''Not known'''2010Gaza3–0Sadaqa2011'''Not known'''2012Shabab Rafah2–0Mashtal2013–14Khadamat Rafah2–2(5–4 p.)Al-Ittihad Shejaia2014–15Al-Ittihad Shejaia3–0Khadamat Rafah2015–16Shabab Khan Younes 4–3Shabab Jabalia2016–17Shabab Rafah2–0Khadamat Rafah2017–18Shabab Khan Younes2–0Shabab Rafah2018–19Khadamat Rafah0–0(4–3 p.)Ittihad Shojaeyya===West Bank Cup===+Gaza Strip CupFinalWinnerScoreRunner-upRef.1978Shabab Al-Khalil1981Shabab Al-Khalil1985Shabab Al-Khalil1997Al-Bireh2000Hilal Al-QudsShabab Al-Khalil2007–08Taraji Wadi Al-Nes1–1(2–0 p.)
