The Icelandic Women's Football League Cup (Icelandic: Deildarbikar kvenna), known as Lengjubikar kvenna for sponsorship reasons, is a pre-season professional women's football competition in Iceland. It is considered the third most important competition in Icelandic women's football.
The pre-season tournament involves the top six clubs in Iceland from the previous season of Besta deild kvenna.[citation needed] It generally takes place between February and May.
Format
[edit]The six teams are placed in one group, and each team plays each other once during the pool stage. The final positions of the group are determined after these five matches are played, and the top four in the group advance to the semifinal stage.[citation needed] From the semifinal stage, the competition becomes a single-leg knockout competition. If a match is not decided in 90 minutes, a penalty shoot-out determines the result.
