The first edition took place during the 1922–23 season under the French protectorate organized by the Tunisian Football League (an offshoot of the French Football Federation). The first final after independence, which took place at the end of the 1955–56 season, was won by Stade Tunisien. The cup is therefore organized every year, with the exception of the 1977–78 season due to the participation of the Tunisia national team’s in the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina, and the 2001–02 edition which is not not completed due to the national team's participation in the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The final match has been held generally since 2001 at the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès. A new Tunisian Cup Trophy is adopted whenever a team triumphs the same Trophy three times, the current cup has been taken since 2020.[3]
Espérance Sportive de Tunis is the most successful team with a record 15 titles. As for Étoile Sportive du Sahel, it has occupied second place fifteen times, the last of which was during the 2018–19 season. Club Africain is the team that has played in the most finals (27 times), as well as the team that retained the title for four consecutive seasons (1966–67, 1967–68, 1968–69 and 1969–70) . Coach Mokhtar Tlili has won the tournament a record three times with Espérance de Tunis (2) and CA Bizertin (1), while player Sadok Sassi has won the title a record 8 times with Club Africain.
From the start of the 2020s, the management of the Tunisian Football Federation decided to play the final match outside the capital Tunis and move it to regions, such as Monastir in the final of the 2019–20 season and Djerba in the final of the 2020–21 season.

Replays: Replays were used to determine the winner of the knockout tournament when the first leg ended in a draw. If the second match remained tied, the team that played the most corners was considered the winning team. This rule was applied twice in the history of the Tunisian Cup finals in 1970 and 1976, and the matches were replayed after a draw 7 times.
Penalty shoot-out: The penalty shoot-out law was applied in the 16-final round of the Tunisian Cup in the 1976–77 edition in the match that brought together the EO La Goulette et du Kram and Stade Tunisien, which prevailed 4–3. For the final matches, 9 matches were decided by penalty shoot-outs. The first was the 1984 final between the champion, AS Marsa, and the runner-up, CS Sfaxien.
