The IFCF Cup Winners' Cup is an international football club competition contested by the winners of domestic cup tournaments. Prior to IFCF takeover, the competition was known as the Cygnus Cup.

To comemmorate the tournament's origins as a competition sponsored by a Krytenian telecoms company, the 50th Cup Winners' Cup (2nd edition under IFCF control) final was held at Cygnus Stadium in Bromham, Krytenia to celebrate the 50th edition of the international tournament for Cup winners. This would actually have been the 51st final, as one season was missed between the holding of the 48th and 49th editions (the latter being the first Cup Winners' Cup under the IFCF umbrella).

Format

The Cup Winners' Cup is a straight knockout competition. Each round consists of a home-and-away series decided by the aggregate score between the two teams, with the final played as a single match at a venue selected prior to the start of the competition. Currently, the titleholders as well as the cup winners from the highest-ranked associations according to their coefficient ranking are seeded and given byes to the first round proper (which consists of 32 teams). The remaining teams are drawn to play a preliminary round to qualify for the first round.
