The tournament usually begins with several rounds played between lower division clubs, twelve of which advance to the Round of 32, where the Iraq Stars League clubs are entered. This is followed by the Round of 16, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and the final which is played as a single leg in Baghdad.
The winners of the competition are awarded a place in the next season's AFC Champions League 2 group stage as well as qualifying for the Iraqi Super Cup where they play against the league champions at the start of the following season (or the league runners-up, if the cup winners have won the double).
Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya are the current holders, having beaten Erbil 1–0 in the 2023 final.
