The tournament was organized after a few mini-tournaments of the PFL Cup had taken place in the span of less than a couple of years.

A new working commission was organized in 2010 to offer an alternative for the Second League clubs structure of competitions which was supposed to be presented for the 2010–2011 season.

The Cup began with a group tournament where teams from Druha Liha and amateur level competitors participated.

The winners of this competition were awarded the Cup and the prize money (150,000 Hryvnia) from Umbro, the general sponsor of the event.

[2] The Rivne Oblast clubs (Veres and Volyn) and Teplovyk Yuzhnoukrainsk informed the PFL during the winter break of their unwillingness to continue in the competition.

The following clubs were given until March 20 to pay off their debts to the referees: Teplovyk, Olexandria, Arsenal, Volyn-Tsement, Veres, Ros, Olympik, Tytan, and Dnipro-75.

When the Second round pairs were formed a few teams that finished last advanced due to numerous withdrawals of other clubs.

As a justification, the main reason can be drawn from the fact that it lies in the heartland of Ukraine, and, thus, such a game could draw a greater audience.
