The Portuguese Football Federation Cup was a competition organized by the Portuguese Football Federation. It was only played in the 1976–77 season. There was an exclusive edition for each of the three top Portuguese divisions, resulting in three champions from different divisions.
This cup is not to be confused with the actual national cup, the Taça de Portugal, despite both being run by the PFF.
Format Each of the three top divisions had their own "Portuguese Football Federation Cup". The format was the following: Group Phase: Teams were split into 4 groups of 4 teams. Knockout Phase: Group winners face each other. Both Semi-finals and the final are one-legged fixtures.
