Finals
The winner of each league competition (top of the table) in the NPL competed in a single match knockout tournament to decide the National Premier Leagues Champion for 2014. The participants were matched up based on geographical proximity. Home advantage for the semi-finals and final was based on a formula relating to time of winning (normal time, extra time or penalties), goals scored and allowed, and yellow/red cards. The winner also qualified for the 2015 FFA Cup Round of 32.
Individual honours
David Vranković from Bonnyrigg White Eagles won the John Kosmina Medal for the best player in the NPL Grand Final.
