The 1932 Greek Cup final was the inaugural final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 8 November 1931 at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium. The contesting teams were AEK Athens and Aris.{{cite web|url=https://www.epo.gr/vodafon/kyppello/Kipello1931-1940.pdf|title=Kipello1931-1940|website=epo.gr|lang=el}} The eight goals that were scored in the match marked a goal-scoring record for a Cup final. AEK Athens with the conquest of the title became the first club to ever win the trophy and simultaneously deprived Aris the chance to become the first club to achieve the domestic double, since they emerged as champions at the end of the season.{{cite web|url=https://www.sportime.gr/extratime/agenda/8-noemvriou-1931-otan-i-aek-katektise-to-proto-kipello-elladas/|title=8 Νοεμβρίου 1931: Όταν η ΑΕΚ κατέκτησε το πρώτο Κύπελλο Ελλάδας|date=8 November 2021|website=sportime.gr|lang=el}} This was the last title for the star player of AEK Athens, Kostas Negrepontis, who retired afterwards. Nikos Kitsos of Aris holds the record for scoring a hat-trick in a lost Cup final.{{cite web|url=https://www.sport24.gr/sthles/8-11-1931-otan-i-aek-katektise-to-proto-kypello-elladas.8648657.html|title=8/11/1931: Όταν η ΑΕΚ κατέκτησε το πρώτο Κύπελλο Ελλάδας|date=8 November 2018|website=sport24.gr|lang=el}}{{cite web|url=https://www.aek365.org/a-821731/kupello-1931-32-o-prwto-titlo-th-aek-fwto.htm|title=Κύπελλο 1931-32: Ο πρώτος τίτλος της ΑΕΚ!|date=8 November 2024|website=aek365.org|lang=el}}
