The league cup competitions focused mainly on top division teams, in contrast to that of the Polish Cup which allows teams much lower down in the footballing pyramid to compete. The four League Cup competitions played in Poland are; the Young Leaders Rally Cup (1952), the League Cup (1977–1978), the Polish League Cup (1999–2002), and the Ekstraklasa Cup (2006–2009), the former three being organised by the Polish Football Association while the most recent competition was organised by Ekstraklasa SA.
