Format

The tournament consists of a total of six rounds.^[1]

The following 52 teams compete in the first round:

• 28 (13 teams from DBU Bornholm, DBU Lolland-Falster, DBU København and DBU Sjælland (East Denmark) and 15 teams from DBU Fyn and DBU Jylland (West Denmark)) that qualified in their local preliminary rounds;
• 12 teams that competed in the spring play-offs in the last season of 2nd Division;^{[lower-alpha 1]}
• 6 teams that competed in the spring 1st division qualification in the last season of 1st Division;
• 6 teams that competed in the spring qualification in the last season of Women's League;

The 26 winners of the first round are joined by the six teams that competed in the championship round in the last season of Women's League for a total of 32 teams in the second round.

Each active competitor plays a single match in each round, except for semifinals, where two legs are played (home and away). The opponents in the matches are determined by a draw. Up until and including the third round, pools based on geographical location are used for the draw to alleviate economic burden on the clubs. In case any of the matches ends in a draw, two rounds of 15 minute extra time are played and if the scores are still even the match is decided by a penalty shoot-out.

1. Since reserve teams are not allowed to participate in the cup, any spots left open by reserve teams competing in the 2nd Division are filled by extra teams from the preliminaries of the relevant area.
