2019–20 DFB-Pokal Frauen
The 2019–20 DFB-Pokal was the 40th season of the annual German football cup competition. 48 teams participated in the competition, including all teams from the previous year's Frauen-Bundesliga and the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, excluding second teams. The competition began on 3 August 2019 with the first of six rounds and ended on 4 July 2020 with the final at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, a nominally neutral venue, which has hosted the final since 2010. The DFB-Pokal is considered the second-most important club title in German women's football after the Bundesliga championship. The DFB-Pokal is run by the German Football Association (DFB).
