Hungarian Cup Women (Hungary) 2025/26

The Hungarian Women's Basketball Cup

The Hungariaan Women's Basketball Cup (Női Magyar Kupa) stands as the primary national cup competition for women's basketball in Hungary. Organised by the Hungarian Basketball Federation (MKOSZ), the tournament operates below the top-tier NB I/A league. The event traces its origins to 1951, establishing a long-standing tradition despite interruptions in its early decades.

The current structure centres on a Round of 8 that leads to a Final Four tournament held at a neutral venue. This modern format replaces the two-legged ties used in earlier decades, streamlining the conclusion of the season. The Final Four encompasses semi-finals, a third-place match, and the final, providing a concentrated showcase of the sport's highest domestic level. Participation is determined by league standings rather than promotion and relegation systems.

Sopron Basket and Budapest SE share the record for most titles, each holding 12 championships. Sopron has maintained significant dominance in recent years, securing victories in 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025. This success has positioned the club as a regular contender in European competition, where the cup winner typically qualifies for the FIBA Europe Cup or EuroCup Women depending on rankings.

While the NB I/A league determines the national champion and primary European qualifiers, the cup offers a distinct pathway for domestic prestige and secondary European access. The competition remains a key fixture in the Hungarian basketball calendar, drawing together teams such as Sopron Women, Ujbuda BEAC Women, and FCSM Csata Women for a knockout-style conclusion to their domestic campaigns.
