The Azerbaijan Supercup (called Azərbaycan Milli Futbol Superkuboku in Azerbaijani) was a special football competition in Azerbaijan. It happened at the start of each new football season. The two teams playing were always the winners of the Azerbaijan Premier League (the top league) and the winners of the Azerbaijan Cup (another big tournament).
This competition first ran from 1993 to 1995. It was known as the "Sahar" Supercup back then. After 1995, it stopped for a long time. It was brought back in 2013, but it hasn't been held since then.

History of the Azerbaijan Supercup
Early Years (1993-1995)
The Azerbaijan Supercup began in 1993. Neftchi Baku has won the Supercup more times than any other team. They won it twice since the competition started.
In 1994, Qarabağ automatically received the Supercup. This happened because they won both the league title and the Azerbaijan Cup in the same year. This is called winning the "Double."
Return of the Supercup (2013)
In 2013, the Professional Football League of Azerbaijan decided to bring the Azerbaijan Supercup back. This was an exciting moment for Azerbaijani football fans.
Khazar Lankaran became the first team to win the Supercup after it was brought back. They won it in 2013.
