The 1933 Greek Cup final was the 2nd final of the Greek Cup. The initial match took place on 5 February 1933 at Aris Stadium. The replay match took place on 25 March 1933 at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium. The contesting teams were Aris and Ethnikos Piraeus. It was Aris' second Greek Cup final in their 19 years of existence and Ethnikos Piraeus' first ever Greek Cup final in their 10-year history. The HFF, intending for maximum incomes, initially scheduled the match at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, which was the largest stadium of the country at the time, but Aris requested for the match to be played at their home ground, as the proclamation dictated. Eventually a draw for the venue of the match took place, which selected Aris Stadium. After the end of the tournament, the HFF temporarily suspended the institution "until it became possible to get it better organized".
