The Cup of Macedonia (, Kup na Makedonija) is the top knockout tournament and the second most important football competition in North Macedonia after the Macedonian First League championship. The cup was established in 1992 after local clubs had abandoned the Yugoslav First League and Yugoslav Cup competitions following the breakup of Yugoslavia.
As of 2014, a total of 16 clubs have reached the cup finals and the most successful side in the history of the competition is Vardar, who have triumphed 6 times in their 7 cup final appearances. They are followed by Rabotnički and Sloga Jugomagnat, who have won 4 titles.
What the Cup of Macedonia represents
The big cup for the Cup of Macedonia was made by the academic sculptor Naso Bekjarovski. It is 51 centimeters tall and weighs 10.5 kilograms and reflects all the important historical, cultural, geographical and natural values and treasures of Macedonia. The soccer ball represents a poppy, and the top flower of the poppy is made of four petals that symbolize the four parts of Macedonia. Under the ball are the flames that symbolize the centuries-old struggle of the Macedonian people. The pillar is wrapped with vines and grapes that symbolize the gourd, the base is with fragments of the history and cultural heritage of Macedonia, the Stone Bridge and the pattern of the Macedonian carpet.

However, despite club officials and fans claims that the Shkupi is the Sloga Jugomagnat's successor, neither the Football Federation of Macedonia nor UEFA recognize Sloga Jugomagnat's titles and statistics before 2009 as being part of the 2012 founded Shkupi's track record.

Despite club officials and fans claims that the new Pobeda Junior is the Pobeda's successor, neither the Football Federation of Macedonia nor UEFA recognize Pobeda's titles and statistics before 2010 as being part of the 2010 founded Pobeda Junior's track record.
:C. The original Bashkimi, which was traced its roots back to 1947 went bankrupt and folded in 2008. In 2011, a successor club called KF Bashkimi 1947 was founded which started competing in the 3rd league. Despite club officials and fans claims that the new Bashkimi is the defunct club's successor, neither the Football Federation of Macedonia nor UEFA recognize Bashkimi's titles and statistics before 2008 as being part of the 2011-founded Bashkimi's track record.
