The National Cup is an annual knockout competition involving Darmeni association football clubs. The competition is organized by the Darmeni Football Association and is open to all clubs in both Series A and Series B. Amateur teams in the Northern Amateur League as well as the Southern Amateur League are also eligible. Teams playing in Esportivan Darmen may also participate via invitation by the DFA. Depending on the total number of entrants however, teams outside of the top two divisions in Darmeni football may be required to qualify to the cup proper by playing in the preliminary round.

The competition is conducted in a single-elimination knockout format, wherein each tie consists of a single match. If scores are level after regulation time, extra time and if needed, kicks from the spot, are used to determine the winner of the tie. Matchups for each tie are determined by random draw, with the team being drawn first to play at home. The final match of the competition is held at a neutral location, currently the National Stadium in Scott City.

Sterling City United is currently the most successful club, having won the competition a total of seven times. MTK Kingsville has won the cup four times, while Rogerton Valladar CF, Romanopolis United and Tempala United Saints have all won the cup on two occasions.
