In order to promote the competition and encourage clubs to register to the cup, no taxes were enforced on the participants. From the sixty-eight teams registered for the competition, fifty-two were not competing in the top-flight. The competition started in the autumn of 1933. The first phases involved only teams coming from district leagues. The draws were made taking in account logistic difficulties, and sixteen of these clubs advanced to the first round proper, where they were joined by the sixteen teams from Diviza A. The results of the preliminary phase were not recorded. The first winners were Ripensia Timișoara, who defeated Universitatea Cluj in the final. The trophy was handed by Alexandru Vaida-Voevod to the captain of Ripensia, Silviu Bindea. First edition of Romanian Cup debuted on 6 April 1931 and it was reserved just for teams of League. After it disputed two editions, both won by the team of North League which defeated in final the teams of South League and East League, on 24 September 1933 it started a new competition with a formula which is today too. Number of teams extended from 65 at first edition, to 4.129 in season 1964–1965. From the first edition, the teams from Divizia A entered in competition in sixteen finals, rule which remained till today. Format The competition is an annual knockout tournament with pairings for each round drawn at random. There are no seeds for the draw. The draw also determines which teams will play at home. Each tie is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn after 90 minutes, the game goes in extra time, and if the scored is still tight after 120 minutes, there a replay will be played, usually at the ground of the team who were away for the first game. From the first edition, the teams from Divizia A entered in competition in sixteen finals, rule which remained till today. The format is quite similar to the oldest recognised football tournament in the world, the FA Cup. http://www.ripensia-sport-magazin.ro/istoria-fotbalului/lista-tuturor-finalelor-cupei-romaniei/ Lista tuturor finalelor Cupei României 17 May 2016 Bracket no România Cluj 1 CFR București 2 Vulturii Textila Lugoj 1 AMEF Arad 2 Mureşul Târgu Mureş 2 Phoenix Baia Mare 4 Tricolor Ploiești 6 Electrica Timișoara 1 Șoimii Sibiu 0 Ripensia Timișoara 7 Franco-Româna Brăila 1 Gloria CFR Arad 2 Venus București 7 Unirea MV Alba Iulia 0 Chinezul Timișoara 2 Avântul Buzău 0 Unirea Tricolor București 1 CA Oradea 0 Transilvania Arad 3 Olympia București 2 UD Reșița 5 Juventus București 0 Jiul Petroșani 0 AS CFR Brașov 1 CA Timișoara 9 Sportul Studențesc 0 Maccabi București 0 Universitatea Cluj 4 Olympia CFR Satu Mare 6 Brașovia Brașov 1 Crișana Oradea 3 Sticla Diciosânmartin 0 CFR București 2 AMEF Arad 4 Phoenix Baia Mare 11 Tricolor Ploiești 0 Ripensia Timișoara 6 Gloria CFR Arad 4 Venus București 7 Chinezul Timișoara 5 Unirea Tricolor București 8 Transilvania Arad 3 UD Reșița 3 AS CFR Brașov 0 CA Timișoara 2 Universitatea Cluj 4 Olympia CFR Satu Mare 3 Crișana Oradea 1 AMEF Arad 1 Phoenix Baia Mare 0 Ripensia Timișoara 6 Venus București 3 Unirea Tricolor București 0 UD Reșița 2 Universitatea Cluj 6 Olympia CFR Satu Mare 1 AMEF Arad 1 Ripensia Timișoara 3 UD Reșița 2 Universitatea Cluj 3 Ripensia Timișoara 5 Universitatea Cluj 0 First round proper |- |colspan=3 style="background-color:#FFCCCC;"|31 March 1934 Venus București (Div.
