The National Amateur Cup, also known as the USASA Amateur Cup, is an American knockout soccer competition open to all amateur teams affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation through United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA). The National Amateur Cup began in 1923 in response to the number of teams applying to play in the National Challenge Cup.

The winner of the men's National Amateur Cup tournament is awarded the Fritz Marth Cup and an entry into the U.S. Open Cup.

History In 1923, the United States Football Association established the National Amateur Cup in response to the growing number of teams entering the open National Challenge Cup. The 1923 competition was played through the semifinals; however, the tournament was never completed due to inclement weather. In 1924 Fleisher Yarn was crowned as the first amateur champion in the United States. St. Louis Kutis S.C. is the most successful amateur club having won the National Amateur Cup seven times.

While the USSF originally managed the competition, that responsibility is now held by the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA).

Format The National Amateur Cup progresses from state competitions through regional competitions, resulting in national tournament.

Starting with the 2019 U.S. Open Cup, the winner of the previous year's National Amateur Cup qualifies for the U.S. Open Cup tournament proper, bypassing the local qualification process.
