All tournaments below were held in Rotterdam (at the various grounds of Sparta), with two exceptions: the 1907 edition was played in Haarlem because the accommodation of Sparta was undergoing renovation (H.V.V. would have liked to organise it in Den Haag, but the Z.V.C. (Zilveren Voetbal Commissie, the organising committee) preferred the financial arrangements offered in Haarlem) and the 1909 edition was moved to Den Haag because of an outbreak of cholera in Rotterdam.

H.V.V. (1901-1903) won the tournament three times in succession; no other club ever repeated that feat, although Feijenoord (1930-1933), Sparta (1934-1937) and Eindhoven (1949-1952) all reached four consecutive finals, with Eindhoven losing the first three of those before finally winning the tournament. Among the clubs reaching multiple finals, only H.V.V. (7) and B.V.V. (3) never lost one.
Two foreign clubs, both from Antwerpen, participated in the tournament: Beerschot on nine occasions between 1901 and 1932, only once (1910) winning a tie, and Antwerp once (in 1906, losing their only match).
To settle drawn matches, originally 15 minutes extra time were played, split into
two halves of 7½ minutes each; if the match was still drawn, this was followed
by sudden death extra time (this first occurred in the second round of the third
edition in 1903, between Velocitas and H.V.V.). After the 1913 semifinal
between D.F.C. and H.F.C.
had required nearly 75 minutes of extra time, causing the postponement of the
final, it was decided to abolish sudden death extra time at the 1915 tournament
and replace it by the drawing of lots. One year later also regular extra time
was scrapped for all matches other than the final.
To reduce the element of chance, the drawing of lots was replaced by penalty
shoot-outs, first used in 1930. These consisted of three penalties each, usually
all taken by the same player, with one club taking three first before the second
club did so; therefore, if the first club had converted all three spot kicks and
the second club missed its first, the shoot-out was over with 3-0; likewise, if
the first club missed all three, the second needed to convert just one to win 0-1.
If both clubs scored the same number of penalties, this procedure was repeated
ad nauseam; one tie, between R.F.C. and B.V.V. in the first round in 1945,
required six such series of three penalties each (in total, 35 penalties were
taken) before the winners were known.

it in permanent ownership for (reportedly) having won it five times,
which appears to be incorrect, as the club only won it four times, in
1911, 1917 (both times by their reserve team as best lower class side),
1920 and 1930 (both as losing finalists), as often as V.O.C. before
them (1908, 1909, 1918 and 1923).

NB: after the final a friendly was played (as main attraction of the day)
between two professional clubs:
[Aug 26]
Sparta 5-4 Sportclub Enschede
NB: originally a match between Sparta and Feijenoord had been planned, but
Feijenoord refused to play due to a conflict with Sparta, whose former
player Tinus Bosselaar had moved to Feijenoord in 1954 but wanted to
use a clause in his contract that he could return to Sparta (without
a transfer fee) if he so requested before Jul 1, 1956; because of this,
Sportclub Enschede were invited instead. One shudders to think what
the amateur-minded members of the Zilveren Voetbal Commissie must have
thought about this farce. Eventually an arbitration committee ruled
in favour of Bosselaar and Sparta.
