Forerunners[]
The forerunners of the Swiss Cup were the Anglo Cup and the Och Cup.
Anglo Cup and winners[]
The Anglo Cup (named after the Zurich sports magazine "Anglo-American") was played from 1909–10 to 1912–13.[1]

Och Cup and winners[]
The Och Cup (named after the sporting goods company "Och Frères") was played in 1920–21 and 1921–22. The Swiss football and athletics association (which was how the Swiss Football Association was called between 1919 and 1955) stated the following in its annual report: “The well-known sports company Och Frères has provided the football department with a cup called the Och Cup. This cup is intended to replace the former "Anglo Cup" and is to be played according to the system of the English FA Cup ". FC Bern was the first club to win the new trophy, Concordia Basel won the second edition. Then in 1925, as the Swiss Football Association decided to launch its own official Swiss Cup, the Och Cup was played-out between the two previous winners. In the play-off on January 11, 1925, FC Bern beat Concordia Basel 2-0 and thus definitely came into possession of the Och Cup. The original trophy is now again in the possession of the Och family.[2]
