Everything you wanted to know about the world's oldest, and most loved Cup competition can be found in this exciting exhibition developed by the National Football Museum.
It features as its centrepiece, the oldest surviving FA Cup trophy, which was used between 1896 and 1910.
This fantastic piece of Victorian silverware was purchased at auction in 2005 by Birmingham City Chairman David Gold, and has since been on display to the public for the first time in over 90 years.
The exhibition uses objects, films, and photographs to tell the story of The FA Cup from its beginnings in the 19th Century to the present day.
Visitors can find about how and why The FA Cup was created in 1872, discover the great FA Cup teams, players and goals, and learn more about the great upsets, plus some of the most famous underdogs in the competition's history.
An amazing collection of iconic football memorabilia help to tell the story of the Cup, and explain why the competition inspires people throughout the world.
Star objects include shirts worn by Sir Stanley Matthews, and George Best.
The exhibition is running from 23 January 2010 until 11 April 2010.
