The FAI Ford Senior Cup is Ireland's Premier Cup competition and dates back to the foundation of the Irish state in 1922.

 

It is run on a knockout basis, with the first round comprised of the four semi-finalists in the previous season's FAI Junior Cup and the last 16 in the previous season's FAI Ford Intermediate Cup.

 

The 10 winning clubs are joined by the 22 league clubs in the second round. It is always an open draw meaning that junior clubs have as much chance of drawing the top clubs in the country as they do of drawing their junior rivals.

 

Shamrock Rovers are the most successful club in the competitions' history with 24 victories, though the last was in 1987. Sporting Fingal are the current FAI Ford Cup holders, having defeated Sligo Rovers in the 2009 FAI Ford Cup final.
