Kor Royal Cup (Thai: ถ้วยพระราชทาน ก.; ถ้วย ก.), known as the Yai Cup (Thai: ถ้วยใหญ่) until 1963, was the highest level of club football competition which competed in the tournament in Thailand from 1916 to 1995. It was founded by the Football Association of Thailand in 1916. Department of Performing Arts was the first team that won this competition.[1]

In 1996, the Thai League 1 was formed by the Football Association of Thailand to act as the top professional football league in place of the Kor Royal cup. From then on the trophy was contested in an annual match between the champions and the runners-up of Thai Premier League until 2009. The Kor Royal Cup was adapted to be the trophy contested annually between the champions of the Thai League 1 and the Thai FA Cup winners (or league runners-up if the same team had won both) from 2010 to 2016.

Since 2017, the national Super Cup match between the Thai League 1 champions and the Thai FA Cup winners has been known as the Thailand Champions Cup.[2]
