The 2025 Emperor's Cup or the JFA 105th Japan Football Championship (Japanese: 天皇杯 JFA 第105回全日本サッカー選手権大会) was the 105th edition of the annually known contested cup.^[1] It featured 88 teams representing the prefectural football associations, university football federation, J1 League and the J2 League.

Vissel Kobe were the title holders, winning the 2024 final against Gamba Osaka, just before becoming 2025 J1 League champions, winning the domestic double. They joined the competition along other J1 and J2 League teams in the second round.^[2]^[3] They were beaten in the final by Machida Zelvia, who won their first ever major title.

Due to the participation of Urawa Red Diamonds in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, they were given automatic qualification to the Round of 16 of the Emperor's Cup, as the Club World Cup takes place between June and July, just when the rest of the J1 League teams are participating in the second and third round of the Emperor's Cup.^[4]

All the teams from lower divisions (starting from the J3 League) who wants to qualify to the Emperor's Cup (exception being made to the JFA-seeded team), have to undergo a prefectural qualification, with regulations and schedules varying from one association to another. In total, there are 47 prefectural cup qualifications, with the winners of each prefectural cup earning their right to play in the Emperor's Cup, with all of them assigned to start the competition in the first round.^[6]
