The Montenegrin volleyball Cup (Montenegrin: Kup Crne Gore u odbojci) is the national volleyball cup for men teams played in Montenegro. Inaugural season of Cup is held on season 2006-07, after the independence of Montenegro.

In semifinals, they eliminated another Montenegrin side - Budvanska Rivijera (3-1), and in the finals they defeated Partizan (3-2). Next year, another Montenegrin team won the trophy - Budvanska Rivijera won the semifinals against Itison Ivanjica (3-2) and after that a final game against Vojvodina (3-1).
