The 2015 Honduran Cup is referred to as the Copa Presidente de Honduras for sponsorship reasons. The cup is a creation of the Honduran government funded by money allocated to national security fund. Its purpose is to support the growth of sport to detract the youth from vices and to promote national tourism for rural towns.

The cup will be contested by 64 teams from the top 3 divisions of the country. There will be a total of 10 teams from La Liga Nacional (First Division), 27 from Liga de Ascenso (Second Division) and 27 from Liga Mayor (Third Division). It will be the first cup in which teams outside the top division will participate. Some stipulations include that the lower seeded team will host the matchup and five substitutions are allowed. The first 4 rounds are single match with penalties if match ends in a tie. The quarterfinal and semifinal rounds are home-and-away while the one-match final is to be hosted in a neutral venue.
