[edit] Format
The format of this competition fluctuates annually. Mainly the competition is limited to the professional level clubs. Currently the Premier division clubs are granted a bye all the way to the 1/16 of the final. At one point for couple of years this competition included a subcompetition which was called as the Ukrainian Second League Cup. During that time only the clubs of the Ukraine Premier League and Ukrainian First League along with the finalists of the Ukrainian Second League Cup competed in this Cup competition. In the 90's amateur clubs were allowed to compete on the volunteer bases. Recently out of amateur clubs usually the winner of the Ukrainian Amateur Cup is allowed to compete.
[edit] History
The first Cup competition brought as much surprises as the championship of 1992. The main contender and the best Ukrainian team ever, Dynamo Kyiv, settled in a draw in its first game at home against, what used to be an amateur club in Soviet times, Skala Stryi and in the next round, quarterfinals, was defeated by the FC Torpedo Zaporizhia. Nevertheless, since then Dynamo Kyiv continues to dominate not only in the amount of the gained championship titles, but in amount of the Cups won as of today.
