Reinstated after a year's hiatus, due to the outbreak of the 1936-1939 Arab revolt, the competition saw Hapoel HaDarom Tel Aviv upsetting Maccabi Tel Aviv and reaching the final, aided by suspensions that were handed to Maccabi players, forcing the club to field a youth team for the Semi-final match against Hapoel HaDarom
In the final, Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel HaDarom 3â0 to win its third cup.
