Piala Emas Raja–Raja (English: Kings Gold Cup or Sultans Gold Cup) is a regional annual football competition held between the states in Malaysia. The competition is managed by the Malaysian Football League.

The competition has been held for a long time, and the first known recorded champion was Perak in 1927.[1][2]

Piala Agong will also be competing as the opening match of the current season of Piala Emas Raja-Raja, where the previous year winners of Piala Emas Raja-Raja will compete against the previous year winners of Piala Agong where they will be defending their trophy.[3]

History

The competition was first held in 1922 during the visit of His Royal Highness the Regent of England (Prince of Wales) to the east including Malaya and Singapore. Various celebrations, including the Malay Football Tournament sponsored by the 'Malaya/Borneo Exhibition' held for two weeks in Singapore. 10 state teams that participated were from Singapore, Johor, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Perak, Kedah, Penang, Terengganu and Kelantan. Meanwhile, Pahang and Perlis did not participate. During the final, Kedah defeated Johor and emerged as the first champion of the Kings Gold Cup.[4]

The winner for the 73rd edition of the 2013 Piala Emas Raja–Raja is Perlis.[5] For the 100th year celebration (2022 Piala Emas Raja-Raja), Selangor won the competition for the 14th time after defeating PDRM by four goals to one. In 2023, Pahang became the champion of the cup after thrashing Terengganu by three goals to one in Darul Makmur Stadium, Pahang.
