Like the championship, the first edition of the Cup had a tight schedule as the Football Federation of Ukraine was given just several months in order to switch to the European seasonal format with the minimum required matches played.
The competition started on February 10 and the final was played on May 31. Only the members of the Vyshcha (Higher) and Persha (First) Leagues competed this season's competition. It was the first National Cup edition replacing the previous competition of the Ukrainian SSR Cup, which was organized as a regional competition. The last winner of that Soviet competition FC Temp Shepetivka was eliminated in the first round by Kremin Kremenchuk.
The first trophy was won by Chornomorets Odesa thus qualifying to the qualification round of UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
