The Hungarian Cup (Hungarian: Magyar Kupa) is the Hungarian cup competition for football clubs. It has been started by the Hungarian Football Association, the Magyar Labdarúgó Szövetség in 1909, eight years after the commencement of the Hungarian League, the Nemzeti Bajnokság.
Besides all of the professional clubs of Hungary numerous amateur sides take part every year. These have to qualify through local cup competitions.
Most successful participant in the Magya Kupa has been the Ferencvarosi TC with 21 wins, followed by the local rivals from MTK Hungária FC with 12 cups. The current holder is Ferencvarosi TC.
Although the first Hungarian League match was played in 1901, the first Hungarian Cup match was played eight years later in 1910 between MTK Budapest FC and Budapesti TC. The first era of the Magyar Kupa was dominated by the same clubs as in the Hungarian League: MTK Budapest FC and Ferencvárosi TC. In the 1910s MTK won 4 trophies, while Ferencváros only 1. However, in the 1920s Ferencváros won 3 other titles, whereas MTK 2 cups. The only club who could interrupt the Ferencvárosi TC-MTK Budapest FC rivalry were Kispesti AC in 1926.
In the 1930s new clubs could conquer the Magyar cup and two of them were outside Budapest. In 1930 Bocskai FC and in 1934 Soroksár FC. The traditional clubs (MTK and Ferencváros) won three trophies: Ferencváros in 1933 and 1935, while MTK in 1932.
