The 2017 Rock Cup was a single-leg knockout tournament played by clubs from Gibraltar. This year's version of the Rock Cup was sponsored by Gibtelecom, and was known as the Gibtelecom Rock Cup for sponsorship purposes.[1]

The winner of this competition (Europa) qualified for the 2017–18 Europa League. Since they won the 2016–17 Gibraltar Premier Division, the spot reserved for the cup winner went to the third place team from the league instead.

First round

The First Round draw was held 14 December 2016 and the matches were played 17–18 January 2017.[2] All teams participating in the first round are from the Gibraltar Second Division.
