Israel State Cup

The Israel State Cup (Hebrew: גביע המדינה, Gvia HaMedina), is a knockout cup competition in Israeli football, run by the Israel Football Association (IFA).

The State Cup was first held in 1928 named the Palestine Cup. It was also informally named the People's Cup because like with many nations, for example England's FA Cup, it involves clubs of all standards playing against each other, there is the possibility for "minnows" from the lower divisions to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament, although lower division teams rarely reach the final.

The last below the top-flight club to make the final was Maccabi Netanya in 2014, they have since been promoted to the Israeli Premier League.

Maccabi Tel Aviv are the current Israel State Cup holders, having beaten Hapoel Be'er Sheva 2–1 in the final for their twenty-fifth title.

Maccabi Tel Aviv have 25 titles, holding the record for most titles won. Hapoel Tel Aviv in 1937–1939 and 2010–2012 are the only club to have retained the State Cup for three consecutive seasons.
