Format

[edit]

Cupa României is an annual knockout tournament. The first round of matches are played on the grounds of the lower-ranked teams; in the second round the matches are played in a neutral location. If a match is tied after 90 minutes, the game goes into extra time. If the match is still tied, the result is decided by penalty kicks. In the quarterfinals and semifinals, the winner was determined by the combined score from two matches.
