History

Before independence

Since 1946, Montenegrin football clubs played in the SFR Yugoslavia football system, so in the period 1947-1992 they participated in Yugoslav Cup. From 1992 to 2006, teams from Montenegro played in the Cup competition of FR Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro. Most successful participant was FK Budućnost, who played twice in the finals of Yugoslav Cup (1964-65 and 1976-77).

First stage of Yugoslav Cup was Montenegrin Republic Cup, in which played clubs from lower-leagues. Competition was held from 1947 to 2006, and the winner qualified for Yugoslav Cup first stage. In Montenegrin Republic Cup played all non-First League clubs from the territory of Montenegro.

After independence

Following independence of Montenegro, Football Association of Montenegro founded Montenegrin Cup as a national football competition, with its first season 2006-07. Direct participation are gaining the clubs from Montenegrin First League and Montenegrin Second League, while the clubs from the Montenegrin Third League played qualifiers for Montenegrin Cup through Regional Cups (northern, central, southern).[1][2][3]

On season 2008–09, the trophy won OFK Petrovac, defeating Lovćen in extra-time.
Rudar was the first, and until now the only club which won two trophies in a row. They won the title on season 2009–10 with win against Budućnost in final (2:1). Next year, Rudar defended the title after penalties in the final game against Mogren. That was the third title for FK Rudar since establishing of Montenegrin Cup.
Season 2011–12 is remembered by fact that one team from Montenegrin Second League won the Cup trophy. Big surprise made Čelik from Nikšić, who defeated Rudar in the final match - 2:1. Year later, Čelik again played in the finals, but as a member of Montenegrin First League. In that final, Čelik was defeated by Budućnost (1:0), who held the trophy after their third final.
On season 2013–14, Lovćen won the trophy for the first time in the club's history. Team from Cetinje won the final game against OFK Titograd from Podgorica - 1:0.
