The winner and runner-up of the competition were awarded a qualification to the Ukrainian Cup in 2000 and 2001.

In the 2009–10 season, the Cup began with a group tournament where teams from the 2009–10 Ukrainian Second League and amateur level competitors participated.

In the second round teams were paired with each other with the winners of each group playing at home.

These semi-finals consisted of two home-away matches, while the final took place at a neutral field.

The winners of this competition were awarded the cup and the prize money (150,000 hryvnia) from Umbro, the general sponsor of the event.
