History

A cup competition for youth players was first organized in 1943–44. The competition was won by Maccabi Tel Aviv.[1] After the establishment of Israel the competition was renewed in 1949 for a single tournament, and two tournaments were held in 1954 and 1955. Since 1958 the competition was played annually. The competition was called Kerner Cup until 1966 and later, until 1977, Jerusalem Cup.[1]

Format

The youth cup is a knockout, played by all the teams affiliated with the IFA. Lower tier teams enter the first stages and are joined in the fourth round by Israeli Noar Premier League teams.
