Like the championship, the first edition of the Cup had a tight schedule as the Football Federation of Ukraine was given just several months to present the best national clubs to UEFA for the European competitions with the minimum required matches played.

The competition started on February 10 and the final was played on May 31. Only the clubs participants of the Supreme and First Leagues competed this season. It was the first National Cup edition replacing the previous competition of the Ukrainian SSR Cup, which was organized as a regional qualification competition for the Soviet Cup. The last winner of that Soviet competition FC Temp Shepetivka was eliminated in the very first preliminary round by Kremin Kremenchuk. Simultaneously, three of the participating Ukrainian clubs were still competing in the Soviet Cup. The very first trophy was won by Chornomorets Odessa thus qualifying to the qualification round of UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

Organization

It was decided that the Cup will start with 16 teams and six Soviet Top League participants gain direct qualification, while the other 10 teams had to qualify through couple of preliminaries with Azovets Mariupol gaining bye round.

Total teams that participated in the first Cup was 45 with 19 pairs in the first preliminary round and 10 in the second. The winner of the competition would gained a chance to qualify for the UEFA Cup Winner's Cup competition.

The preliminary rounds and the final consisted of only one game while the other three had a home-away fixture scheduled.

Participating teams

• 1992 Ukrainian Premier League (20)

Brief overview

The tournament started on February 10, 1992 with the game between Podillia Khmelnytsky and Bukovyna Chernivtsi right in the middle of the Zakarpattia Oblast in the village of Ilnytsia and culminated in the final game in Kiev on May 31, 1992. With the organization of the Ukrainian Cup competition the three Ukrainian clubs Dynamo Kyiv, Chornomorets Odessa, and Metalist Kharkiv that still were in competition of the Soviet Cup with their Quarterfinals games scheduled on March 25, 1992 had those fixtures canceled, abandoning that competition.

The highest attending game happened to be in the Round of 16 when FC Skala Stryi were playing against FC Dynamo Kyiv in the city of Stryi in front of 17,000 spectators. Skala lost that game in the overtime by the goal from Oleg Salenko. Even the final game attendance of 12,000 could not beat that festival of sport in the small city of the Lviv Oblast. The lowest attendance of the competition was in the game between Kolos Nikopol and Polissia Zhytomyr which took place on February 16, 1992 just outside of the city of Nikopol in Chkalove village and was witnessed only by 150 people. The highest scoring game took place in Odessa when the local Chornomorets avenged its poor performance in Zhytomyr by beating Polissia 7:1. The biggest margin in goals scored was recorded in Zaporizhia when the local Metalurh won over Vahonobudivnyk 7:0. The most surprising was the elimination of the Soviet Cup participant Dynamo Kyiv that lost its quarterfinal stand off against the Zaporizhian Automakers 1:2 in aggregate.
