The Tunisian Cup ( Arabic: كأس تونس) and formerly known as Tunisian President's Cup, is the premier knockout cup competition in Tunisian football organised by the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF). The first cup competition was held in the 1922–23 season during the French protectorate. The first final after independence was held at the end of the 1955–56 season and was won by Stade Tunisien. The cup has been organized annually since that time, except for the 1977–78 season due to the Tunisia national team’s participation in the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina. It was not completed in 2001–02 due to the national team’s participation in the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The final match has been held generally since 2001 at the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès.
8 teams from the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 (the teams that finished last season between seventh and twelfth place, in addition to the two teams promoted from the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 2) enter the competition in the 32 round, followed by the other six teams in the next round. The Tunisian Cup champion qualifies directly for the CAF Confederation Cup. However, if the cup champion is the champion of the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 that season or a participant in the CAF Champions League, the club that played the final is the one who replaces it in the external competition. A new Tunisian Cup Trophy is adopted whenever a team triumphs the same Trophy three times.
Mokhtar Tlili has won the tournament on a record ten occasions with Espérance de Tunis (2) and CA Bizertin (1).

Replays: Replays were used to determine the winner of the knockout tournament when the first leg ended in a draw. If the second match remained tied, the team that played the most corners was considered the winning team. This rule was applied twice in the history of the Tunisian Cup finals in 1970 and 1976, and the matches were replayed after a draw 7 times.
Penalty shoot-out: The penalty shoot-out law was applied in the 16-final round of the Tunisian Cup in the 1976–77 edition in the match that brought together the EO La Goulette et du Kram and Stade Tunisien, which prevailed 4–3. For the final matches, 9 matches were decided by penalty shoot-outs. The first was the 1984 final between the champion, AS Marsa, and the runner-up, CS Sfaxien.
