The inaugural season started in September 1951 after the Malaya Cup final concluded.^[2]^[5] The final match was held in 26 April 1952 between Penang and Selangor which was won by Penang.^[6]^[7] Starting in 1974, the state teams were barred from entering the competition and only the club sides could enter.^[1]

With the advent of two-league Semi-Pro League in 1989, FAM Cup becomes the third-tier competition. In 1993, the format of the competition was changed to include a two-group league followed by the traditional knockout format. Promotion to the professional M-League were introduced for the first time in 1997, Johor FC and NS Chempaka FC the first two sides to be promoted that year.^[1]

A further changes were made in 2008 to abolish the knockout stages and introduce a double round-robin league format. The tournament in now known as Malaysia FAM League.^[8]
