Maccabi Tel Aviv secured the Winner Cup basketball title on Monday, defeating city rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv in the final. This victory marks their second trophy of the season, following their earlier Super Cup win. The game was a hard-fought contest between the two Tel Aviv clubs.

Maccabi Tel Aviv, coached by Oded Katash, reached the Winner Cup final after a one-year absence. Their previous appearance in 2024 saw them win the cup for the 11th time in club history, a record. With this latest win, their total trophy count in the competition rises to 12, though they have also lost five finals.

Hapoel Tel Aviv, under coach Dimitris Itoudis, made their second consecutive appearance in the Winner Cup final. Last season, they lost to Hapoel Jerusalem. This was their third appearance in the final overall, and they are yet to win the trophy. Hapoel's last domestic title was the State Cup in 1993.

The rivalry between the two teams was highlighted, with Maccabi Tel Aviv having won three consecutive championships against Hapoel. This was the second time the two city rivals met in the Winner Cup final; the first was in October 2022, which Maccabi also won after overtime. Since the 1968/69 season, when Hapoel won a double including a victory over Maccabi, Maccabi has dominated finals between them, with an aggregate record of 18-0 in championship or cup finals, excluding the Super Cup win this season. Shimon Mizrahi has served as Chairman of Maccabi Tel Aviv for over 57 years, during which Hapoel has not won a title against them.
