2014 FFA Cup Qualifying Rounds

Template:Infobox football tournament season
The **2014 FFA Cup Qualifying Rounds** were a series of state-based knockout competitions, providing a qualification pathway for the 2014 FFA Cup, the Australian association football knockout cup competition.

The majority of clubs entered the tournament through their respective state federations, in which they competed in a state-based cup tournament to progress to the overall Round of 32 of the competition. A total of 22 teams will qualify from these qualifying competitions, joining the 10 A-League clubs in the Round of 32.

†–After extra time

## ACT

ACT clubs qualify for the FFA Cup via the **2013 Federation Cup**. From 2015 onwards the winner of that same years' Federation Cup will become the ACT's sole qualifier for the FFA Cup Round of 32. Scheduling meant the 2014 winner would not be decided until after the qualifier needed to be named. To overcome this Capital Football announced that the 2014 winner of the ACTs pre-season competition was to be the ACTs qualifier in 2014. However, Tuggeranong United as the 2013 Federation Cup winners successfully appealed to Capital Football to qualify them as ACTs 2014 FFA Cup entrant.

### First Round

22 Clubs from various divisions of the ACT State Leagues (Tiers 3-8), as well as 4 Masters teams, entered into the 2013 Federation Cup competition at this stage. Matches in this round were played on 6 April 2013.
