Vietnamese National Football Cup (Vietnamese: Giải Bóng đá Cúp Quốc Gia Việt Nam), commonly recognized and branded as the National Cup, is a Vietnamese football competition. It is one of the most important club competitions in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese Cup was first held in 1992. Cảng Sài Gòn was the first cup winner.[1]

Format

Entry was open to all teams that competed in the V.League 1 and the V.League 2. The two teams that reach the final were exempt from the preliminary rounds of the next year's competition. The cup winners would qualify to the Qualifying playoff round of AFC Champions League Two.

The Vietnamese National Cup winner will also qualify for a single match of the Vietnamese Super Cup against the V.League 1 champion. If one team won both the National Cup and V.League titles, then the runnerup team of the V.League 1 will be qualified for the Super Cup.
