Reinstated after a year's hiatus, due the outbreak of the 1936-1939 Arab revolt, the competition saw Hapoel HaDarom Tel Aviv upsetting Maccabi Tel Aviv and reaching the final, aided by suspensions that were handed to Maccabi players, forcing the club to field a youth team for the Semi-final match against Hapoel HaDarom

In the final, Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel HaDarom 3–0 to win its third cup.

Notes

  1. The match was abandoned after a Maccabi Hadera player attacked the referee. The result at the time of the abandonment was confirmed by the EIFA.

gollark: That must be a comforting thought.
gollark: I could just remove them.
gollark: In case you might want it later, presumably.
gollark: That would be mean and thus impossible. If it did happen anyway you'd have to copy everything from your existing installs I *guess*.
