In the Latvian Cup, domestic clubs compete not only for the trophy, but also for the right to represent Latvia in the UEFA European League qualification.
In the first round, 26 teams from the Latvian second and third leagues participated, two teams automatically qualify for the next round. Thirteen first-round winners, two wild-card recipients, and nine first-league clubs took part in the second round.
Twelve second-round winners took part in the third round, and ten Optibet Premier League clubs joined the six winners in the eighth final.
In the history of the Latvian Cup, since 1936, 38 different club teams have won the prestigious trophy, but since the restoration of the country’s independence, 12 different teams have raised the cup over their heads.
Since 2017, the winners of the tournament have been presented with a new design and identity trophy.
The current trophy holder is the RFS team, which was with it for the first time in history last year. Last year, the people of Riga only surpassed the most titled cup team “Jelgava” of the last decade in overtime.
The most titled team in the tournament is the defunct Skonto, which triumphed in the tournament eight times between 1992 and 2012.
The Latvian Cup in football was played in one season until 2008, but since 2009/2010 it has been started in the previous season for the next eight years and completed in the spring of next year. Thus, the fourth Latvian participant in the Euroccups was determined only about a month before the start of the new UEFA Europa League season.
