Quick facts Founded, Region ...

In the first three years, the semi-finals and the finals were two-legged events. If the aggregate result was drawn, there would be extra time after the second leg. Drawn ties after extra time would be settled by a replay. However, this practice was abandoned in 1977. Since 1978, all matches have become one-legged, draws are settled by extra time and penalty shootouts.

In 2013–2016, teams from the First Division, Second Division and Third Division were allowed to enter the competition through qualifying from the preliminary round. However, due to the huge difference in playing level between the Premier League and the lower levels below it, the cup has been limited to top-flight teams since the 2016–17 season.[1] The teams in the lower divisions are now competing in the FA Cup Junior Division.

The champion will also receive a prize of HK$350,000, while the runner-up will be awarded HK$150,000.[2]

The current FA Cup holders are Eastern.
