Portadown were the defending champions after their second League Cup win last season; a 1–0 victory over Newry City in the previous final. This season however, they went out at the semi-final stage to eventual winners Glentoran, who defeated Coleraine 4–1 on penalties in the final after the game finished 2–2 following extra time. This was Glentoran's seventh League Cup win, and the eleventh time in thirteen years that the cup had been won by one of Belfast's Big Two.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesn/nilleagcuphist.html Northern Ireland - List of League Cup Finals Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation RSSSF 9 January 2013https://www.rsssf.org/tablesn/nil2010.html Northern Ireland League Cup 2009/10 Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation RSSSF 9 January 2013 First round The first legs were played on 28, 29 August and 1 October 2009.
