The ULNA Super Cup, ULNAF Super Cup or even UNAF Super Cup was an annual football sports competition pitting the North African champion against the winner of the North African Cup.

The competition was cancelled on 2011 because of the Arab Spring revolutions. On 2015, UNAF decided to merge the North African Cup of Champions and the North African Cup Winners Cup to create the UNAF Club Cup, so the competition was abolished automatically.
