The LKF Cup was an annual national domestic cup competition for Lithuanian professional basketball teams. It was organised by the Lithuanian Basketball Federation (Lietuvos Krepšinio Federacija - LKF). The competition's full name was Lietuvos Krepšinio Federacija Taurė (English: Lithuanian Basketball Federation Cup). Before 2007, the LKF Cup wasn't held regularly, but after that, its finals were organised every January, February, or March.

Between 2007 and 2014, the competition was played between teams from the LKL, the NKL, and the RKL. In 2015, the LKF decided to change the competition format, and it was then played between the top eight qualified teams of the LKL, after the first half of the season.

Only three teams, (Žalgiris, Lietuvos rytas, and Prienai) won the cup.[http://www.musukrepsinis.lt/lt/index;info;show,id.101/ History of LKF Cup] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224050011/http://www.musukrepsinis.lt/lt/index;info;show,id.101 |date=2012-02-24 }} (Lithuanian)

The competition was replaced in 2016, by the King Mindaugas Cup.
