The winners of the competition qualify for the East Africa Cup, a future FIBA-organised tournament.[2]

Format

The cup competition begins with a group stage with the lowest ranked teams from the Rwanda Basketball League and the Rwanda Basketball League Division 2. The winner of each group advances to the playoffs, which is played in single-elimination format. The semifinals and finals are held over one weekend, and a third place game is played as well.
