The 2015 Costa Rican Cup (known as ''Torneo de Copa Banco Popular'' for sponsorship reasons) is the 3rd staging of the Costa Rican Cup. The competition began on July 4 and finished on November 19 with the final at the Estadio Nacional. The cup featured 20 teams, composed of all 12 teams of the FPD and 8 from the Liga de Ascenso. Originally, teams from the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Aficionado were expected to participate as well, but were withdrawn due to lack of budget. The format of the tournament marked several differences to that of its predecessor, such as the lack of a group stage (similar to the 2013 edition), and the addition of a "best loser" rule, in which a team could still qualify to a further round, despite having lost a match. The tournament saw the defending champions Cartaginés earning a second title by defeating Herediano in the final.
