Elimination Rounds
Quarterfinals
The first legs were played on January 5 and 6, 2009 while the second legs were played on January 13 and 14, 2009.
The first game between Ironi Kiryat Shmona and Bnei Sakhnin (that should have been played in Kiryat Shmona) has been cancelled due to safety reasons during the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict.
