The 1973 Cupa României Final was the 3rd final in the history of the Romanian Cup when the winner established after a replay. The other two finals with replay(s) were played in 1934 and 1940.

This final remained in history because it was the first one with no club from Divizia A in the final.

The final is also known as "Finala desculților" (English: "The final of the poor") because the team from Râmnicu Vâlcea was playing in Divizia B and the team from Galați was playing in Divizia C at the time of the final.[3]

Chimia Râmnicu Vâlcea became the third club representing Divizia B which won the Romanian Cup final, after Metalul Reșița which accomplished this in 1954, and Arieșul Turda which accomplished this in 1961.[4][5] Constructorul Galați became the second club representing Divizia C that reached the Romanian Cup final, after Foresta Fălticeni in 1967.[4][5]

Constructorul Galați become the champion of 1972–73 Divizia C at the end of the season.
