History

The competition was first contested in 1969. Until 1993, the winner of the Slovak Cup would face the winner of the Czech Cup in the Czechoslovak Cup final, the winner of which would be Czechoslovakia's representative in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (Slovan Bratislava won the tournament in 1968–69).

The first winner of the cup after the split of Czechoslovakia and the establishment of the independent Slovak Republic was Slovan Bratislava in 1994, when they defeated Tatran Prešov 2–1 in the final match in Brezno.

Second-league teams have won the cup twice, in 2002 VTJ KOBA Senec and in 2007 ViOn Zlaté Moravce. Second-league clubs also qualified for the final, Ličartovce in 2004 and MFK Skalica in 2017.

Trophy

The trophy for the winner of the national cup has taken various forms throughout its history. The first and longest-serving trophy was a traveling crystal cup, which was awarded to the winner of the cup competition between 1970 and 2004. For several years, two cups were awarded to the winners, in addition to the original crystal cup and a cup dedicated to the Slovak Football Association. In 2005, the trophy changed material, the crystal cup was replaced by a new one made of metal and brass, the first winner of the new trophy was Dukla Banská Bystrica.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Slovak Cup in 2019, a new modern trophy was created. The Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava became the SFZ's partner in its implementation, and organized a two-round student competition for new trophy designs. The first round received 29 designs, five of which advanced to the final round, and then representatives of the SFZ, the Academy of Fine Arts, and Slovnaft selected the winning trophy.
