2009–10 Ukrainian Cup

The 2009–10 Ukrainian Cup was the 19th annual season of Ukraine's football knockout competition, currently known as DATAGROUP – Football Ukraine Cup or Kubok of Ukraine.

The Cup began with the preliminary round where teams from Druha Liha and Amateur Cup champions participate. In the Second Preliminary Round teams from Persha Liha are drawn into the competition and then in the Round of 32 teams from the Premier League enter the competition.

Tavriya Simferopol defeated Metalurh Donetsk 3–2 in the Cup Final and are Ukraine's Cup Winner representative in the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League 2010–11.

Team allocation
Fifty two teams entered the competition

Round and draw dates
All draws held at FFU headquarters (Building of Football) in Kyiv unless stated otherwise.

Bye berth
The bye berth appeared because of a small technicality in the pre-season berth allocation. Originally FC Ihroservice Simferopol to the last moment was considered as a member of the 2009–10 First League, yet it was given a condition to provide financial guarantees with the suspense time on July 8, 2009 (2pm LST). With the already ongoing Ukrainian Cup competition that was drawn on July 7, 2009 (just a day ahead), the Crimean club failed to satisfy that condition. The Professional Football League of Ukraine withdrew the club from all its competitions and arranged additional play-off between the second placed teams of the 2008-09 Ukrainian Second League (Arsenal – Poltava). After winning the play-off on July 12, 2009, FC Arsenal Bila Tserkva became a member of the 2009-10 Ukrainian First League, yet the berth assigned to Ihroservice was preserved as bye which was given to FC Kharkiv during the draw on July 22, 2009.
