As of 2024, a total of 18 clubs have reached the cup final, with 12 of them winning the title; the most successful side in the history of the competition is Maribor, who have triumphed 9 times in their 15 cup final appearances.

Aluminij, Nafta 1903 and Gorica are the only sides from outside the top flight which managed to reach the cup final, having finished as runners-up in 2002, 2020 and 2024, respectively.

Rogaška are the current champions, having beaten Gorica 6–5 on penalties (1–1 after extra time) in the 2024 final for their first title.

Until 2021, the Slovenian Cup was contested by a total of 28 clubs: 18 lower league sides that qualified via regional cups organised by the Intercommunal Football Associations, and 10 teams that competed in the Slovenian PrvaLiga the previous season.

The twelve winners were then joined by the best four top flight clubs who automatically entered the second round proper.
