The IFCF Cup Winners' Cup, known as the Cygnus Cup up to its 48th edition, is an international football club competition contested by clubs who have won their national association or league cup. Each association may enter one club, with the defending champions receiving an additional, automatic entry. Clubs may compete in both the Cup Winners' Cup and other IFCF competitions for which they qualify, however the Cup Winners' Cup entry cannot be given to another club who did not win the national cup.
The tournament originated as a competition sponsored by Cygnus, a Krytenian telecoms company. The Cygnus Cup was independent of and not affiliated with UICA, and clubs could thus compete in both the Cygnus Cup and in UICA competitions if they qualified for both. The inaugural tournament, held in the same season as the 27th Champions' Cup, concluded with Vanorian side Ibini FC beating Sargossan team Alianza Jucaro 1-0 in the final held at Cygnus Stadium in Bromham, Krytenia. Raynor City United became the first team to retain the trophy by winning the 8th and 9th editions, and would become the tournament's most successful team winning a total of six titles. The Valladares football association later took over the administration of the tournament.
After the tournament's 48th edition, the tournament was cancelled for one season after the organization operating the Cygnus Cup became defunct. With the founding of the IFCF, it was decided to relaunch the competition under the Cup Winners' Cup name. The 50th Cup Winners' Cup (2nd edition under IFCF control) final was held at Cygnus Stadium in Bromham, Krytenia to celebrate its origins. This would actually have been the 51st final, as one season was missed between the holding of the 48th and 49th editions (the latter being the first Cup Winners' Cup under the IFCF umbrella).
