The 1957–58 Israel State Cup (Hebrew: גביע המדינה, Gvia HaMedina) was the 20th season of Israel's nationwide football cup competition and the fifth after the Israeli Declaration of Independence.
Early round matches, with Liga Gimel and Liga Bet teams began on 12 October 1957.[1] Liga Leumit clubs joined the competition in late June 1958. a quarter-final match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Petah Tikva ended prematurely, and the IFA ruled the match in favor of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Hapoel Petah Tikva appealed the decision, and the process caused the semi-finals and the final to be delayed until the beginning of the 1958–59 season.
The final was held at the Ramat Gan Stadium on 30 September 1958. Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel Haifa 2–0, won its 9th cup and completed its second double since the Israeli Declaration of Independence and third overall.
Following the conclusion of the competition, the IFA played an additional cup competition, dedicated to the 10th anniversary of Israel, which was played during October and November 1958.
