1940–41 Cypriot Cup

Cyprus Cup 1940-41

The seventh season of the Cyprus Cup took place from April 6, 1941 to May 11, 1941. Organized by the Cyprus Football Association, four teams participated in this edition of the competition, with Apoel emerging as the winner.

This season's final was held at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia on May 11, 1941. APOEL Nicosia successfully defended their title against defending champion AEL Limassol. The match format for all encounters consisted of a single game; if the score remained tied after regular time, the game would be extended by two 15-minute periods. If no winner was determined following this extension period, a repeat game on the opponent's home field would take place.

The competition featured teams from the Cypriot First Division, with all participating clubs ultimately contributing to the tournament. The only team that withdrew before the cup started was Lefkoşa Türk Spor Kulübü. This season marked an adjustment in the format of the Cyprus Cup due to a reduction in the number of teams competing in A' Katīgoria from four to two.

The 1940-41 Cypriot Cup was notable for its unique match format, which included a single game and subsequent extensions if necessary. The competition's outcome showcased Apoel Nicosia's dominance during this period, as they successfully defended their title against AEL Limassol in the final.
