The Danish Cup (Danish: Landspokalturneringen) is the official "knockout" cup competition in Danish football, run by the Danish Football Association. The cup has been contested annually since 1955. The winner will qualify for the UEFA Cup tournament the following year, where they will enter in the 1st qualifying round.[1] The latest edition, Danish Cup 2006-07, was won by Superliga-side OB, beating back-to-back Danish League Champions FC Copenhagen 2-1 on May 17, 2007 at Parken Stadium.

Format
Each club may only have one team in the tournament (their first team). If a match (except one of the two-legged semifinals, except if the 2nd match's result gives an aggregate tie, including the away goals rule) ends in a tie, two fifteen-minute extra time periods will be played, with penalty kicks if the tie remains after the extra time.
The participants
The teams are not seeded, but the lowest placed team from the previous season will always get the home pitch advantage.
