The Swiss Cup Final is usually the most important game of the year with a high attendance.

The competition is also shaped by games in the first rounds when villages celebrate the tie of their club with a professional team leading to infrastructure improvements and often thousands of spectators at the local football pitch.

The Anglo Cup (named after the Zurich sports magazine "Anglo-American") was played from 1909–1910 to 1912–1913.

FC Bern was the first club to win the new trophy, Concordia Basel won the second edition.

In the play-off on 11 January 1925, FC Bern beat Concordia Basel 2-0 and thus definitely came into possession of the Och Cup.
