The Malaysia Cup (Piala Malaysia), formerly known as Malaya Cup, is an annual football tournament in Malaysia, held at the end of each year. The Malaysia Cup has been the country's most prestigious football tournament and one of oldest tournaments in the Asian Region. Established in 1921, it was known as the Malaya Cup from 1921 to 1967, then renamed to the Piala Malaysia in 1967. Since the advent of the tournament in 1921, two trophies have been used, both featured in this stamp issue in 2021 by Pos Malaysia to celebrate the centenary of the Malaysia Cup tournament – the HMS Malaya Cup (the stamp on the left) and the present-day Malaysia Cup (the stamp on the right).
