The 1951–52 Swiss Cup was the 27th season of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since the 1925–26 season by the Swiss Football Association.

Overview

This season's cup competition began with the first games of the first round, played on the week-end of the 23 September 1951. however, a few games were played a few weeks later. The competition was to be completed on Easter Monday, 14 April 1952, with the final, which, since 1937, was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from the 1951–52 Swiss 1. Liga were given a bye for the first round, they joined the competition in the second round on the week-end of 14 October. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga A (NLA) and from this season's Nationalliga B (NLB) were given byes for the first two rounds. These teams joined the competition in the third round, which was played on the week-end of 3 and 4 November.

The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round.[1]

Whenever possible, the draw respected local regionalities. The first round was played on Saturday 23 September 1951, with a number of exceptions that were played a week or two later.
