The Asian Cup Winners' Cup was an Asian football club competition contested annually by the winners of domestic cup competitions. The cup was, chronologically, the second seasonal inter-Asian club competition organised by Asian Football Confederation (AFC). The tournament was started in 1990–91 and ran for 12 seasons, with the final edition held in 2001–02, after which it was discontinued and merged into the Asian Club Championship to form the AFC Champions League.
The winners of the Cup Winners' Cup used to contest the Asian Super Cup against the winners of the Asian Club Championship.
The most successful clubs in the competition were Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia and Yokohama F. Marinos from Japan with two titles each.
