The Finnish Basketball Cup is the primary national domestic cup competition for men's basketball in Finland, organized by the Finnish Basketball Federation. It sits in the hierarchy as the second most important domestic competition after the top-tier Korisliiga league. The men's competition was founded in 1968, while the women's version began in 1973.
The competition format is a knockout tournament. Historically, it involved teams from all levels of the Finnish basketball pyramid, with lower-division teams entering in early qualifying rounds. For instance, the 2024–25 season saw 364 teams participate, though the format typically sees Korisliiga teams entering in the later stages. The final is a single game. Notably, the men's cup was suspended from 2014 to 2018; in 2013, a one-off 'LiigaCup' was held instead.
KTP-Basket holds the record for the most men's titles with 9 wins. The current holders are Helsinki Seagulls, who won their fourth title in 2024 by defeating BC Nokia 83–76. Other notable winners include Tapiolan Honka with 6 titles and Lappeenrannan NMKY with 4 consecutive titles from 2005–2008. In the women's competition, Torpan Pojat are the recent dominant force, winning in 2023 and 2024. The women's final is often part of a 'Final Four' weekend in January.
A distinctive feature is the potential for lower-division teams to reach the final; in the 2023–24 season, Säynätsalon Riento, an I-divisioona team, reached the men's final against Korisliiga side Tapiolan Honka. The competition is currently sponsored by Motonet, known as the Miesten Motonet Suomen Cup. However, the cup was cancelled for the 2024–25 and 2025–26 seasons due to unresolved broadcasting rights issues with the Finnish public broadcaster Yle, with a planned return in 2026–27.
