The Santo Antão North Cup is a regional football (soccer) cup competition played during the season in the northern part of Santo Antão Island (consisting of the municipalities of Paul and Ribeira Grande, Cape Verde. The cup tournament is organized by the Santo Antão North Regional Football Association (ARFNSA).[1] The winner (some seasons when a winner is also a champion, a cup finalist) participates in the Santo Antão North Super Cup. For several times, the winner (or a cup finalist if a winner is also champion) participated in the Cape Verdean Cup. The first entrant was in 2007 which was Rosariense and their recent was in 2012 and was Paulense. Since 2013, there were no entrants to the national cup due to financial concerns.

In 2013, Paulense won three straight cup titles and has the most cup titles won in the North Zone. Sinagoga won their second and recent in 2014 and Paulense won two more cup titles in 2016. Rosariense became the second club to have two cup titles in 2017. Beira-Mar and Solpontense are now the only clubs who won a cup title each.
From 2006 to 2011, Ribeira Grande was the only municipality who won the most cup titles. Since 2011, Ribeira Grande has the most cup titles win and Paul is second. From April 2016-2017, the two municipalities shared the most cup titles.
