The 1898–99 KNVB Cup was the 1st staging of the KNVB Cup. The final was originally planned to be played in Utrecht on the Hercules ground, but it was later moved to Heemstede and played there on 7 May 1899.[1]
The cup winner was RAP Amsterdam, beating HVV Den Haag in the final. RAP not only became cup winners this season, but also national champions, making them the first Dutch double winner.[1] [2] [3]
All ties were played in one game, and if the result was a draw, two extra periods of 7½ minutes were played to determine the winner.[1] If there was no winner after that, another extra period of two extra periods of 7½ minutes was played, and if there was still no decision after that, the game was replayed on the opponent's pitch. If the third game also ended in a draw, the game went into extra time until a goal was scored.[1]
