Before the formation of La Liga in 1929, the competition was effectively a national championship. Teams qualified to enter via their regional leagues.
Over the years, various formats, including group stages have been used. Unlike the English FA Cup, entry is limited. Only teams from the Primera Division, Segunda A, about 23 teams from the Segunda B and the Tercera Division champions (or runners-up if the champion is a reserve team) are invited to enter.
The early rounds are one-off games with teams from the lower divisions given home advantage. The round of 32, the round of 16, the quarter-finals, and semi-finals are played over two legs. The final is a one-off game played at a neutral venue. The winners qualify for both the Supercopa de Espana and the UEFA Europa League the following season.
