The 2018–19 Toto Cup Leumit was the 29th season of the second tier League Cup (as a separate competition) since its introduction. It was divided into two stages. First, sixteen Liga Leumit teams were divided into four regionalized groups, with the winners advancing to the semi-finals, while the rest of the clubs were scheduled to play classification play-offs. However, the classification matches were only partly played.

In the final, played on 25 December 2018, Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem defeated Hapoel Marmorek 1–0.[1]
