Nedbank Cup Past Winners
The Nedbank Cup's roll of honour leans on the PSL's giants, but it still springs a surprise often enough to keep the underdog dream alive. Here is the history and what the record tells a bettor.
The cup's history and recent winners
The cup is South Africa's long-running premier knockout, sponsored by Nedbank and run by the PSL. Kaizer Chiefs are its most decorated side, the record holders across the competition's history. Mamelodi Sundowns have added several titles in the modern era, and Orlando Pirates won back-to-back finals in 2023 and 2024. Yet the recent picture also shows the cup's unpredictable streak — a knockout where finalists and winners outside the traditional big three do break through. We only list results we can stand behind; for live prices on this season, see the Nedbank Cup odds page.
What the record tells bettors
The history is a useful steer, not a script. The big PSL clubs win it more often, which justifies their place at the head of the outright market — but the cup's habit of producing shock finalists is exactly why a blanket bet on the favourites is no banker. Read the roll of honour as evidence that class usually tells over a long campaign, while the open one-off draw keeps the door ajar for an outsider. Pair it with the Nedbank Cup predictions page and the giant-killers angle, and see the Nedbank Cup guide for all the markets.
