Initially held for clubs from the S.League from 1996-1998, the Football Association of Singapore decided to change the format of the cup to allow only teams from the National Football League to take part in the knock out competition from 1999 as so that the S.League clubs can focus on the Singapore Cup, a cup competition which was created in 1998 to run concurrently with the S.League regular season.[2]

After the Singapore Cup and League Cup, the Singapore FA Cup is the next major cup competition in Singapore. For a number of years, the FA Cup was solely restricted to NFL Clubs. In 2006, S.League clubs were once again allowed in the competition, but were only permitted to field their developmental Prime League teams.[3] The team matchups were drawn out of a hat against one another for the initial 2006 and 2007 seasons before being seeded into two groups after 2008.
