1998 Bavarian Cup
# 1998 Bavarian Cup

The 1998 Bavarian Cup was the first edition of this competition. It ended with the SV Schalding-Heining winning the competition. Together with the finalist, SG Post/Süd Regensburg, both clubs were qualified for the DFB Cup 1998-99.

The competition is open to all senior men's football teams playing within the Bavarian football league system and the Bavarian clubs in the Regionalliga Süd (III).

## Rules & History

The seven Bezirke in Bavaria each play their own cup competition which in turn used to function as a qualifying to the German Cup (DFB-Pokal). Since 1998 these seven cup-winners plus the losing finalist of the region that won the previous event advance to the newly introduced Bavarian Cup, the Toto-Pokal. The two finalists of this competition advance to the German Cup. Bavarian clubs which play in the first or second Bundesliga are not permitted to take part in the event, their reserve teams however can. The seven regional cup winners were qualified for the first round.
