The 1936–37 Swiss Cup was the 12th edition of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since the 1925–26 season by the Swiss Football Association.

Overview

This season's cup competition began with four preliminary rounds. Two of which were played during the last two week-ends of August and the other two played in September. The first principal round was played at the beginning of October. The competition was to be completed on Easter Monday, 29 March 1937, with the final, which, this year was held in the country's capital in Bern, at the Stadion Neufeld.

The preliminary rounds were held for the lower league teams that were not qualified for the main rounds. The 24 clubs from this season's 1. Liga and the 13 clubs from the 1936–37 Nationalliga joined the competition in the first principal round, which was played on Sunday 4 October.

The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, if agreed between the clubs, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, or if a replay had not been agreed, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round.[1]

Preliminary rounds

The lower league teams that had not qualified for the competition competed here in four preliminary rounds. Reserve teams were not admitted to the competition. The aim of this preliminary stage was to reduce the number of lower league teams to 27 before the first main round. The draw respected local regionalities. The first two preliminary rounds were played at the end of August in advance of the lower leagues regional season.

Grasshopper Club won the cup and this was the club's fifth cup title to this date. Noteworthy to this result is that three players had achieved a hat-trick. Also noteworthy, is the fact that this was the second time that the final had ended with the result 10–0 and both times one of the finalists was Lausanne-Sport, only this time they had been beaten. Two years earlier they had won the cup with 10–0 against Nordstern. Some two months after the Cup final, on 6 June, the last day of the season, GC secured themselves the Swiss league championship title with their 4–0 victory against Basel.[8] That was the second time in Grasshoppers history, that the club had achieved the double.[1]
