1954–55 Israel State Cup
Maccabi Tel Aviv appeared in its fifth consecutive final and after defeating Hapoel Petah Tikva 3–1, won its 8th cup.Nahariya appealed the decision and went to civil court in order to obtain an injunction forbidding any further cup matches until the matter is resolved.However, as in the month between the second and the third rounds the appeal was accepted and the original result was restored, there was no delay.Maccabi Petah Tikva found Liga Gimel club Maccabi Shmuel Tel Aviv hard to beat, being saved by a 90th-minute goal to go through, and Hapoel Balfouria needed extra time to win at home against Hapoel Ra'anana.The match was supposed to be played on 9 July 1955, but Balfouria withdrew and Petah Tikva was given a walkover win.
