The Football Association of Ireland Senior Challenge Cup[1] (FAI Cup), known as the Sports Direct FAI Cup[2] for sponsorship reasons, is a knock-out association football competition contested annually by teams from the Republic of Ireland (as well as Derry City from Northern Ireland). Organised by the FAI (Football Association of Ireland), the competition is currently sponsored by Sports Direct. It was known as the Free State Cup from 1923 to 1936. Shamrock Rovers hold the record of most wins with 25.
The current holders are St Patrick's Athletic, who won their 5th title in November 2023.
