The Pre-Mediterranean Cup was an association football tournament hosted by the Hellenic Football Federation in Athens. The competition was conducted once, in 1991, and the winner was AEK Athens.
In June 1991, the only Pre-Mediterranean cup was conducted in Rizoupoli Stadium, the home ground of Apollon Athens, with the participation of the best-eight football clubs of the 1990–91 Alpha Ethniki. Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, PAOK and Iraklis forfeited the competition due to their players being tired from constant league games. In the semi-finals, AEK Athens played against Apollon Athens and won with 4–2, and OFI played against Athinaikos and won by 1–0. In the final game of the competition, AEK Athens secured a 1–0 victory against OFI and obtained the title, with the only goal of the game being scored by Takis Karagiozopoulos from the penalty spot.
