The Lebanese Elite Cup is a Lebanese cup competition played by the top-6 league finishers of the previous season.

The competition was first played in 1996 and was contested by the top four of the league and the cup winners. It was known as the Super League Cup. The following season it was known as the Super Cup and expanded to feature 6 teams, all from the top 6 of the league.

From 1998 until 2002 it was known as the Viceroy Cup and in 2003 changed again to the Prime Cup, but has always been known locally as the Elite Cup of which is the current name of the competition.

The competition was not played in 2006 and 2007, due to the 2006 Lebanon War.
