1971–72 Swiss Cup

This season's cup competition began on the weekend of 4 and 5 September 1971, with the first games of the first round. The competition was to be completed on Whit Monday 22 May 1972 with the final, which was held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga B (NLB) were given byes for the first two rounds and entered the competition in the third round. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga A (NLA) were granted byes for the first three rounds. These teams joined the competition in the fourth round, which was played on the week-end of 23 and 24 October.

The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would decide the outcome of the match. The winners of the cup qualified themselves for the first round of the Cup Winners' Cup in the next season.

In this first phase, the lower league teams (1. Liga and lower) that had qualified themselves for the competition through their regional football assocciation's regional cup competitions or their assocciation's requirements, competed here. Whenever possible, the draw respected local regionalities. The lower-tier team in each drawn tie was granted the home advantage.

For the second time in three years, following their encounter in 1970, the two teams FCZ and FCB battled it out for the national cup title. After a 1–4 loss in extra time on the last occasion, the club from the Rhine knee was shaky at the reunion. FCZ promptly triumphed in front of 45,000 spectators at Bern's Wankdorf stadium. On Whit Monday, 22 May 1972, they secured the third cup trophy in their history (the first, incidentally, had come in 1966, against Servette).{{cite web | first = | last = bud/sda | author-link = | year = 2014 | url = https://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/fussball-allgemein/dank-geduld-marti-und-kuenzli-cupfinal-1973-fuer-den-fcz-waren-aller-guten-dinge-drei | title = Cupfinal 1973: Für den FCZ waren aller guten Dinge drei | format = | work = | trans-title = Cup Final 1973: For FCZ, all good things came in threes | publisher = Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF) | language = de-ch | access-date = 2024-11-16}}
