The 1950-51 Cyprus Cup
The 1950-51 Cyprus Cup, also known as Kypello Kyprou in Greek and Cypriot Football Cup in German, was the 14th edition of the Cyprus national cup competition. It took place from January 14, 1951 to February 25, 1951, with a total of eight teams participating in the tournament.
The winner of this season's competition was Apoel FC, who defeated defending champion EPA Larnaka in the final match. The final was originally scheduled for February 18, 1951, but due to rain at the GSP stadium in Nicosia, it had to be aborted after a scoreless draw. A week later, on February 25, 1951, the rescheduled match took place.
The competition consisted of three knock-out rounds: quarterfinals, semi-finals, and finals. All matches were played as single games, with draws resulting in extended playtime of two 15-minute periods if no winner was determined after the initial game. If a draw still persisted, a repeat game on the opponent's home field was scheduled.
The teams participating in this season's competition included all eight teams from the Cypriot First Division. The tournament format involved three rounds: quarters, semi-finals, and finals, with the home team chosen by random draw for each match.
