The Lebanese Elite Cup ( Arabic كأس النخبة اللبناني) is a soccer cup competition for Lebanese club teams that has been held annually since 1996. Six teams play for the title every year. Due to the 2006 Lebanon War , the Elite Cup did not take place in 2006 and 2007. Nejmeh Club is the current defending champion and also record winner with 11 titles.
mode
The four best-placed teams in the Lebanese Premier League and the two cup finalists of the past season will take part. If the cup finalists land in the top 4 in the league, the fifth and sixth in the league take over their starting places.
These six teams compete in two groups of three teams each. Each team plays two games, because within a group each team plays each other once. The second round is the semi-finals, for which the group first and second from both groups qualify. The group winner plays against the runners-up in the other group.
