Format

[edit]

Sixteen teams participated in the 1986–87 Cypriot First Division. All teams played against each other twice, once at their home and once away. The team with the most points at the end of the season crowned champions. The last two teams were relegated to the 1987–88 Cypriot Second Division.

The champions ensured their participation in the 1987–88 European Cup and the runners-up in the 1987–88 UEFA Cup.

Notes:
  1. ^ a b In 1986 APOEL was drawn against Besiktas J.K. for the second round of the 1986–87 European Cup. This was the first time that a Cypriot team faced a Turkish team in a European football competition (see Cyprus dispute). The Cypriot government prohibited APOEL from playing against the Turkish team, so APOEL was punished with one year disqualification from any UEFA competition. So, the third team of the table, EPA, took APOEL place in 1987–88 UEFA Cup.
