Rosenborg won their twelfth Cup title. The victory would have earned them a place in the first qualifying round of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, but since the club already had qualified to the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League as winners of the 2018 Eliteserien, this berth was passed down to Haugesund, fourth-place finishers in the league.
