The 2009 Hazfi Cup final was a two-legged football tie in order to determine the 2008–09 Hazfi Cup champion of Iranian football clubs. Rah Ahan faced Zob Ahan in this final game. The first leg took place on May 18, 2009 at 17:00 local time (UTC+3:30) at Rah Ahan Stadium in Ekbatan and the second leg took place on May 22, 2009 at 17:00 local time (UTC+3:30) at Foolad Shahr Stadium, Fooladshahr.
Format The rules for the final were exactly the same as the one in the previous knockout rounds.
