Format
The Ukrainian Super Cup usually features one representative of the Ukrainian Premier League and another the Ukrainian Cup. In event when both tournaments were won by one club, participation in the game is granted to the cup finalist or the league runner-up. On some occasions when the national cup was won by a national champion, it was challenged by the league runner-up or the cup finalist.
Venues
Traditionally playing in Odessa at the Chornomorets Stadium, the season's opening match did not initially have a "fixed" venue. The decision on conducting the match in Odessa in 2005 was adopted by the PFL Bureau three days before the game and on petition of both Dynamo and Shakhtar. Due to the preparation for UEFA Euro 2012, however, the newly established tradition changed and for the 2008 rendition it has been moved to Poltava's Oleksiy Butovsky Vorskla Stadium. In 2009, the cup venue changed once again to the Sumy's Yuvileiny Stadium which stood relatively underutilized since the main city football club went bankrupt. The 2009 edition featured Vorskla, which became the first team outside of the Ukrainian derby to participate. In 2007 and 2008, the Cup played-off between the first and second placed teams as one of the team won both the Cup and the Premier League.
Sponsors
The 2008 rendition was officially known as Inter Super Cup of Ukraine and sponsored by the TV channel Inter. In 2009, the contract was extended for another three years and later again to 2014. The very first Super Cup was handed over by Prime Minister of UkraineViktor Yanukovych. In 2016, the tournament received another sponsor, an American construction company UDP. The prize money fund in 2014 and 2015 consisted of 1 million hryvnias. The winner was to receive 650,000 and the other finalist 350,000.
