The 2014 FFA Cup preliminary rounds were a series of state-based knockout competitions, providing a qualification pathway for the 2014 FFA Cup (now known as the Australia Cup), the Australian soccer 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.
ACT ACT clubs qualified for the FFA Cup via the 2013 Federation Cup. From 2015 onwards the winner of that same years' Federation Cup would become the ACT's 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 ACT's qualifier in 2014. However, Tuggeranong United – as the 2013 Federation Cup winners – successfully appealed to Capital Football to qualify them as ACT's 2014 FFA Cup entrant.
