Emir of Qatar Cup

Emir of Qatar Cup (Arabic: كأس أمير قطر), also known as the Emir Cup, but changed to Amir Cup starting in 2019, is an association football tournament played every season by all first and second division teams in Qatar.

The tournament is played in a knockout system, starting with the round of 16.

The cup was originally only contested by first division teams, but in 1999 the Qatar Football Association decided to allow all second division teams to participate.

The cup was played for the first time in 1972, and was won by Al Ahli.
