The 2014 FFA Cup will be the 1st season of the FFA Cup, the proposed main domestic cup competition in Australian football. 32 clubs from around Australia will enter the competition. Following individual state qualifying tournaments in early 2014, the FFA Cup proper is expected to start in July 2014 when the A-League teams enter the competition in the round of 32.

Although future editions of the tournament will involve the Cup Final being played on Australia Day, this season's Cup Final is expected to be played in December in order to avoid a clash with the 2015 Asian Cup, which is being played in Australia.
