Main article: 1937 Palestine Cup

Hapoel HaDarom Tel Aviv upset Maccabi Tel Aviv with a 2–1 victory in the semi-final to set a meeting with its parent club, Hapoel Tel Aviv in the final. The Hapoel HaDarom victory was assisted by a punishment issued to the senior Maccabi Tel Aviv squad for boycotting Maccabi's match against Aris Thessaloniki in April 1937. Due to the punishment, Maccabi had to field its youth team for the match.^[3]
