History
The tournament was first held in 1959.[3] It featured an 18 team two leg qualifying round with 11 teams qualifying for the 2nd round. 5 new teams joined in at the 2nd round to create a 16 team two leg round. The 3rd round had 8 teams in a two leg round and the semi-finals and finals were both single leg rounds. In the finals, SK Altheim defeated Grieskirchen while Riedau beat Eberschwang to finish in 3rd place.[3] The two leg format was dropped permanently after.
The tournament grew in various years, ranging from 32 to 74 teams for some of the 1980's editions. The 2022 edition of the tournament had 32 teams competing.
