The 1984 Icelandic Cup was the 25th edition of the National Football Cup.

It took place between 23 May 1984 and 26 August 1984, with the final played at Laugardalsvöllur in Reykjavík.[1] [2] The cup was important, as winners qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (if a club won both the league and the cup, the defeated finalists would take their place in the Cup Winners' Cup).

The 10 clubs from the 1. Deild entered in the last 16, with clubs from lower tiers entering in the three preliminary rounds. Teams played one-legged matches. In case of a draw, a penalty shoot-out took place (there were no replays, unlike in previous years).

ÍA retained their title by beating Fram (promoted to the 1. Deild that season) in the final. It was their fourth Icelandic Cup victory, and meant that they won the League-Cup double for the second consecutive season. The victory meant that it was the losing finalists who qualified for Europe.
