The competition started on 14 September 1968 with Liga Bet and Liga Gimel clubs playing the first round.[1] Liga Alef clubs joined the competition in the fourth round, played on 30 November 1968 and Liga Leumit entered on the sixth round, on 12 April 1969.
Hakoah Maccabi Ramat Gan and Maccabi Sha'arayim met in the final, both teams appearing in their first final (although Hakoah Tel Aviv, one of the clubs which were merged to form Hakoah Maccabi Ramat Gan, did appear in the 1935 final). Hakoah emerged the winner by a single goal to claim its first cup.

Notes
- ^ The match was abandoned at the 15th minute. After the goal scored by Hapel Haifa, Maccabi Netanya players protested the goal, claiming the match ball was substituted illegally before the throw-in that preceded it. In the ensuing melee, Hapoel Haifa player Mordechay Piker punched Maccabi Netanya player Shraga Bar and was sent off, following by the abandonment of the match. The match was given to Hapoel Haifa.
