An English knock-out [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball football]] tournament inaugurated in the 19th Century that takes places over several months. It is open to all members of the Football Association, including numerous amateur clubs as well as the top professional ones (Premier League). The lower ranked teams have to play numerous qualifying rounds before getting to the First Round (when the teams in Football Leagues One and Two join in). The top teams (Premiership and Championship) enter in the Third Round which takes place in January; the Final is the Eighth Round and takes place in May. It is well known for the prospect of [[DavidVersusGoliath Giant Killing]], where a lower ranked team will somehow, against the odds, triumph against a larger team who would normally trounce them. For the small clubs, the FA Cup is a chance to get some valuable prize money, personal glory and some Crowning Moments of Awesome thrown in for measure. For the higher ranked clubs, the FA Cup is the top domestic knock out competition and generally provides some classic football moments as well as an additional opportunity for some to qualify for European competition the following season.
