Only in its eleventh year, the cup saw a different champion, with B36 defeating rivals HB in the final.

[2] HB continued to enjoy success, but TB won the competition just once after the first decade, in 1977.

In 1979 the Faroe Islands Football Association was founded and took over the organization of the competition, opening the cup to teams from every division.

In the 1980s new champions were crowned, with GÍ winning in 1983 and NSÍ in 1985; and the 1990s also had its first-time winners with B71's title in 1993.

Frequent winners HB went through what was then their longest period without a cup title, not winning for five years, between 1999 and 2003.
