The KNVB Women's Cup (Dutch: KNVB Beker Vrouwen) is the cup competition for women's football in the Netherlands. The competition was established in 1980, along with the KNVB Amateur Cup. It is organized by the Royal Dutch Football Association (Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbalbond or KNVB).

With the formation of the Eredivisie in the 2007, the first round of the cup was a group stage for clubs in the lower leagues, the Hoofdklasse and the Eerste Klasse. Eredivisie clubs joined the competition in the second round. The amateur Topklasse joined the competition in the 2015–16 competition. In 2020, the cup competition was abandoned before the quarterfinal round, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Currently, the 12 Eredivisie clubs join the competition in the Round of 16, which also features four clubs from lower leagues.[3]
