Besides all of the professional clubs of Hungary numerous amateur sides take part every year.

The most successful participant in the Magyar Kupa has been Ferencváros with 24 wins, followed by local rivals MTK with 12 cups.

The first era of the Magyar Kupa was dominated by the same clubs as in the Hungarian League: MTK Budapest FC and Ferencvárosi TC.

The only club able to interrupt the Ferencvárosi TC-MTK Budapest FC rivalry was Kispesti AC in 1926.

Ferencváros's dominance was interrupted by Szolnoki MÁV FC by winning the 1940–41 season.

In the 1980s, Újpesti Dózsa SC won three trophies, while Budapest Honvéd SE could lift the cup twice.

There have been only one player who scored four goals in one single match in the final of 1932–33, József Takács.
