The Icelandic Women's Basketball Cup (Icelandic: Bikarkeppni KKÍ) is an annual basketball competition between clubs in Iceland. It is Iceland's first-tier cup competition, and is not to be confused with Iceland's former second-tier cup competition, the Company Cup.
History and format
The first edition of the Icelandic Women's Cup championship was held in 1975 and won by Þór Akureyri. All the rounds are played with a single game knockout format. The final four and the finals are played over a single weekend.[http://kki.is/log-og-reglugerdir/reglugerdir/yfirlit-reglugerda/reglugerd-um-korfuknattleiksmot/ 49. grein - Bikarkeppni KKÍ]
Finally, the winner of the Icelandic Cup championship, or the runner-up if the same team wins both the cup and national championship, will then face the winner of the Úrvalsdeild kvenna championship in a single game to determine the winner of the Icelandic Supercup championship in the beginning of the next season.[http://kki.is/log-og-reglugerdir/reglugerdir/yfirlit-reglugerda/reglugerd-um-korfuknattleiksmot/ 46. grein - Meistarakeppni KKÍ]
