The Rhineland Cup (German: ''Rheinlandpokal'') is one of the 21 regional cup competitions of German football. The winner of the competition gains entry to the first round of the German Cup. It is limited to clubs from the northern part of Rhineland-Palatinate, however, teams from the Fußball-Bundesliga and 2nd Fußball-Bundeliga are not permitted to compete. It is one of two cup competitions in the state, the other being the South West Cup, which covers roughly the southern half of the state. The competition is sponsored by the Bitburger brewery and carries the name ''Bitburger-Verbandspokal''. In the past, it was sponsored by ''Oddset'' (Sports betting) and named ''Oddset-Pokal''. It is operated by the ''Rhineland Football Association'', the ''Fußballverband Rheinland'', or ''FVR''. The competition does not cover the whole of the historical region of Rhineland, only a part of it. ==History== The Cup was established in 1953. The Rhineland Cup is played annually. From 1974 onwards, the winner of the South West Cup qualified for the first round of the German Cup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 DFB Cup Men – Mode )〕 Since the establishment of the 3rd Liga in 2008, reserve teams can not take part in the German Cup anymore, but are permitted to play in the regional competitions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhineland Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
