The 1944 Palestine Wartime Cup (, HaGavia HaMilhamti) was a special edition of the Palestine Cup, intended to be a standalone cup competition and not an Israel State Cup edition. However, the IFA recognize the title as part of the main competition.
Draw for the competition was held on 5 February 1944, without the participation of Beitar teams, which withdrew from the competition in protest over the EIFA treatment of Beitar Tel Aviv after the team's match against NSC Cairo in the previous summer.Beitar's Football Teams Left the War-Cup Matches HaMashkif, 6 February 1944, Historical Jewish Press
