1978 Icelandic Cup


The 1978 Icelandic Cup was the 19th edition of the National Football Cup.
It took place between 30 May 1978 and 27 August 1978, with the final played at Laugardalsvöllur in Reykjavík. The cup was important, as winners qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
The 10 clubs from the 1. Deild entered in the last 16, with clubs from lower tiers entering in the three preliminary rounds. Teams played one-legged matches. In case of a draw, the match was replayed at the opposition's ground.
ÍA won their first Icelandic Cup, beating Valur in the final. The club therefore qualified for Europe.
