The Ukrainian Cup began with a preliminary round where teams from Druha Liha and Amateur Cup champions participated. In the second preliminary round, teams from Persha Liha were drawn into the competition and then in the round of 32 teams from Premier League entered the competition.

The winners of this competition will enter as Ukraine's cup winner representative in the play-off round of the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League. Since one of the finalists, Shakhtar Donetsk, has already qualified for European competitions for 2009–10 by virtue of their position in the Premier League, Vorskla Poltava automatically qualifies for the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League.
