    Australia Cup

    The Australia Cup is a national knockout cup competition open to men’s teams from across the country. It includes teams from association and state level, National Premier Leagues and the A-League. More than 700 clubs compete in feeder competitions run by the states and territories, with A-League clubs joining in the Round of 32 alongside 22 clubs that have progressed from the semi-professional and amateur tiers.

    Adelaide United are the most successful team, winning the competition 3 times. In 2024, Macarthur FC became the first away side in the modern era to win the Australia Cup, defeating Melbourne Victory 1-0 at AAMI Park. Most recently, Newcastle Jets won the 2025 Australia Cup Final for the first time, defeating Heidelberg United 3-1 after extra time at Lakeside Stadium.
