The 2004 Prime Minister's Cup was the second national football cup competition in Laos.[1] The competition was won by Vientiane FC, who beat Savannakhet FC 2-1 in the final.[2]
Format
The competition began with a regional qualifying tournament involving sixteen provincial teams from outside Vientiane. These teams were divided into four groups of four and they played qualifying matches during October and November. The top team in each group qualified for the next stage. At this stage, the top four teams from the 2004 Lao League joined. These eight teams were then split into two groups and a further round robin series of matches was played. The top two teams from each group qualified for the semi final knockout round to determine the two teams that would contest the final. The losers of the semi finals met in a third place playoff.[2]

The following regional teams took part in the qualifying round. Although there are no reported results, Savannakhet, Champassak, Luang Prabang and Bokeo qualified for the next round and apparently either Bokeo or Luang Prabang were moved to Group A following the draw.
