# 1972–73 Israel State Cup

The 1972–73 Israel State Cup (Hebrew: גביע המדינה, Gvia HaMedina) was the 34th season of Israel's nationwide football cup competition and the 19th after the Israeli Declaration of Independence.
Starting with this edition, later rounds, which involved Liga Leumit clubs, were played as two-legged ties, up to the final, which remained a single match.
The competition was won by last year's finalist, Hapoel Jerusalem, who have beaten this season's league champions, Hakoah Maccabi Ramat Gan 2–0 at the final.
