Piala Indonesia (lit. 'Indonesia Cup') is the professional annual cup competition for football clubs in Indonesia. Its origins date back to the start of the semi-professional football era in 1985 as Piala Liga, which ran until 1989 under Galatama competition.[1] The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) organized the full professional cup competition from 2005 until the most recent in 2018–2019. Traditionally, the tournament involves clubs from the whole layers of football competitions, which are Liga 1, Liga 2, and Liga 3.

Piala Indonesia winners qualify for the AFC Challenge League the following season. Since the start of the professional era in 2005, Sriwijaya is the most successful club in the competition, with three titles.

The tournament has not been held on several occasions: 2011,[2] 2013–2017 (partially due to the PSSI's ban on handling all of the football competitions by FIFA in 2015–16[3]), and since 2020 (partially due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[4][5] the lack of sponsor,[6][7] and the election[8]).
