Ukrainian Amateur Cup

The Ukrainian Amateur Cup (Ukrainian: Кубок України з футболу серед аматорських команд) or AAFU Cup (Ukrainian: Кубок ААФУ) is a national cup competition in Ukraine for amateur clubs.

The competition among amateur teams in cup format (knock-out format or Olympic system) was established in the 1996–97 season as part of the 1996 Ukrainian Cup reform. The reform limited winners of regional competitions of directly entering the main tournament, the Ukrainian Cup, with its better performers (winners and/or finalists) being given qualification spot for the next season.

Also, creation of the competition was similar in establishing the Soviet Amateur Cup back in 1957. The Ukrainian teams qualified for the tournament (Soviet Amateur Cup) through the Ukrainian Cup competition which was completely degraded in 1957 as one of 15 republican competitions of the Soviet Union (see Football Cup of the Ukrainian SSR).

Among the most notable clubs of the competition are LNZ-Lebedyn and AF Pyatykhatska which eventually reached the Ukrainian top tier of the football league pyramid, the Ukrainian Premier League.
