Borneo Cup (Malay: Piala Borneo) is a football tournament held in East Malaysia and Brunei. The tournament was played in Borneo since the 1950s, perhaps earlier. Before the establishment of Malaysia on 16 September 1963, the tournament was contested by three national teams, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei. After North Borneo and Sarawak formed Malaysia together with Malaya and Singapore, it competed as states of Malaysia.
In 1977, the tournament champions Sabah qualify for the Malaysia Cup. In 1978 the tournament served as the Malaysia Cup east zone qualifying round.
