The QSL Cup is a Qatari football competition formerly known as Qatari Stars Cup.

The knockout competition, which involves a round-robin structure, was first started in 2009 when the Qatar Stars League structure was amended. The competition was established to provide clubs with more competitive games during the regular season and was originally open only to clubs participating in the Qatar Stars League.

In 2024–25, the tournament was rebranded as the QSL Cup, with 11 teams participating in two groups. The tournament was expanded in 2025–26 to 20 teams, including the First and Second Division teams, which will form one league. The top 14 teams progress to the knockout stages.
