Since 2014, this knockout competition has also served as preliminary rounds for the FFA Cup, with the winner representing the ACT.
Current Cup Competitions 2013-onwards
The current format is a qualifying competition for the FFA Cup, where the winner qualifies for the Round of 32. Scheduling issues 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. The 2014 winner - Belconnen United - entered into the 2015 FFA Cup preliminary rounds in a later round than the rest of the Capital Football NPL sides.
