==Draw==
After the completion of the ] and the ] by the respective member federations, the 32 teams were organised for the FFA Cup Round of 32 draw, the first of four draws in the competition proper. The draw for the round of 32 used three pots to arrange the teams: Pot A included the four A-League teams to reach the semi-finals in the ] (], ], ] and ]), Pot B included the remaining six A-League teams and Pot C contained the 22 member federation teams. Teams were drawn randomly into predetermined positions. From the round of 16, Quarter-finals and Semi-finals, teams will be allocated in one of two pots. The remaining A-League teams were allocated to Pot A and the remaining member federation teams into Pot B. In each draw, teams were again drawn randomly into predetermined positions.<ref name="FFA Cup How Draw Works"/>

The positions which teams are drawn into are structured to ensure that member federation teams have the best chance of advancing in the competition. The draw ensures a minimum of one non-A-League team reaches the Semi-finals stage, a minimum of three in the Quarter-finals and a minimum of nine in the round of 16.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cup gives grassroots chance to be giant-killers|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/Cup-gives-grassroots-chance-to-be-giantkillers/86833|publisher=footballaustralia.com.au|access-date=23 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328002129/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/Cup-gives-grassroots-chance-to-be-giantkillers/86833|archive-date=28 March 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> This structure is achieved by allocating teams (which are randomly drawn) into predetermined positions, with some A-League teams guaranteed to be drawn against one another to ensure that a certain number of A-League teams are eliminated and that a certain number of member federation teams may progress in the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|title=Perth Glory coach Kenny Lowe says the club doesn’t fear a tough FFA Cup route|url=http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/football/perth-glory-coach-kenny-lowe-says-the-club-doesnt-fear-a-tough-ffa-cup-route/story-fnhq6mze-1226962371414|publisher=perthnow.com.au|access-date=23 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140623001416/http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/football/perth-glory-coach-kenny-lowe-says-the-club-doesnt-fear-a-tough-ffa-cup-route/story-fnhq6mze-1226962371414|archive-date=23 June 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The draw for each round did not take place until after the scheduled completion of the previous round. The draws also determined which teams will play at home; that is, if a member federation team draws an A-League team, the member federation team will host the fixture. However, if two A-League teams or two member federation teams are drawn together, the first team drawn will host, with the exception that ] must play all of their matches in Australia, away from home.<ref name="2014 FFA Cup FAQs"/>

A-League clubs represent the highest level in the Australian league system, where as member federation clubs come from Level 2 and below. The current season tier of member federation clubs is shown in parentheses.

Draw

After the completion of the 2013–14 A-League season and the preliminary rounds by the respective member federations, the 32 teams were organised for the FFA Cup Round of 32 draw, the first of four draws in the competition proper. The draw for the round of 32 used three pots to arrange the teams: Pot A included the four A-League teams to reach the semi-finals in the 2013–14 A-League Finals series (Brisbane Roar, Central Coast Mariners, Melbourne Victory and Western Sydney Wanderers), Pot B included the remaining six A-League teams and Pot C contained the 22 member federation teams. Teams were drawn randomly into predetermined positions. From the round of 16, Quarter-finals and Semi-finals, teams will be allocated in one of two pots. The remaining A-League teams were allocated to Pot A and the remaining member federation teams into Pot B. In each draw, teams were again drawn randomly into predetermined positions.

The positions which teams are drawn into are structured to ensure that member federation teams have the best chance of advancing in the competition. The draw ensures a minimum of one non-A-League team reaches the Semi-finals stage, a minimum of three in the Quarter-finals and a minimum of nine in the round of 16. This structure is achieved by allocating teams (which are randomly drawn) into predetermined positions, with some A-League teams guaranteed to be drawn against one another to ensure that a certain number of A-League teams are eliminated and that a certain number of member federation teams may progress in the tournament.

The draw for each round did not take place until after the scheduled completion of the previous round. The draws also determined which teams will play at home; that is, if a member federation team draws an A-League team, the member federation team will host the fixture. However, if two A-League teams or two member federation teams are drawn together, the first team drawn will host, with the exception that Wellington Phoenix must play all of their matches in Australia, away from home.
