Independence Cup (Gozo)

The Independence Cup was a football competition that took place in Gozo, Malta, and that was organised by the Gozo Football Association.

This competition was played on a knock-out basis between the clubs of the First Division. The first Independence Cup took place in the season 1964–1965 — that is the same year that Malta gained its independence and the last edition was held during the 2012–2013 season. Generally the final was held on the Independence Day – that is 21 September.
