It began on 13 November 1983 with the preliminary round and concluded on 9 June 1984 with the final which was held at Tsirion Stadium.
In all rounds each tie was played as a single leg and was held at the home ground of one of the two teams, according to the draw results.
However, they were expelled from Cyprus Football Association after Cyprus' Court of Arbitration for Sport decision, after Doxa Paliometochou's objection based on a federation's regulation in which teams of villages with population under 1500 people couldn't join the federation.
Before the court's decision to be known, the draw of the preliminary round made, including Ethnikos Defteras.
During the draw, Cyprus Football Association announced that if the court's decision hadn't been known in two weeks after the draw (and the other teams would have already played their qualifying matches), the opponent of Ethnikos Defteras would advance to the next round without playing any match, thing which it happened.
