2014 Waratah Cup

Main article: 2014 Waratah Cup

Football NSW soccer clubs competed in 2014 for the Waratah Cup. The tournament doubled as the NSW qualifier for the 2014 FFA Cup, with the top seven clubs progressing to the Round of 32. 100 clubs entered the qualifying phase, with the clubs entering in a staggered format (with NPL and NPL 2 clubs seeded to a later round). The four quarter-final winners were randomly drawn to create the semi-final fixtures of the competition.

The competition was won by Blacktown City, their 4th title, defeating Manly United by six goals to two.

In addition to the three A-League clubs (Central Coast Mariners, Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers), seven qualifiers (Blacktown City, Hakoah Sydney City East, Manly United, Parramatta FC, Sydney Olympic, Sydney United 58 and South Coast Wolves) competed in the final rounds of the 2014 FFA Cup. Of these qualifying clubs, only Sydney Olympic and Sydney United 58 progressed to the Round of 16.
