President's Cup (known before 2005 as the National Championship)[1] is said to be the first tournament in the Maldives and also the birth of football in the Maldives. The first tournament was held in 1946, with 2006 seeing its 50th edition. The first edition ended with Customs and Naadhee Ahthamadhun both sharing the trophy.
The current format of the President's Cup allows only the top four teams of the Dhivehi League to participate.
