The UAE League Cup (Arabic: كأس رابطة المحترفين الإماراتية) or the Pro League Cup[1] is a knockout tournament for clubs in the UAE Pro-League. The first edition of the tournament was played in the 2008–2009 season.[2]

In the 2008–09 season, UAE League Cup replaced the UAE Federation Cup and became a second tier tournament,[2] initially under the name of Etisalat Cup in 2008–2013 and Arabian Gulf Cup in 2013–2021 for sponsorship reasons.[3][4][5]
