The Asian Cup Winners' Cup was a seasonal association football competition contested between member associations of Asian football's governing body, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). It was open to winners of domestic cup competitions. In the first four editions of the Cup, the final match was played in two legs. After that, the final was always held as a single game and hosted by one of the two finalist teams or in a neutral country. The first competition was won by Persepolis, from Iran, who defeated Bahrain's Al-Muharraq 1–0 over two legs to win the 1991 final. The competition was abolished in 2002; Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal were the last team to win the competition when they beat Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 2–1.
Al-Hilal and Yokohama F. Marinos are the most successful clubs in the competition's history, having won it on two occasions each. Teams from Saudi Arabia won the competition six times, more than any other country.
