It was originally intended by Capital Football that the 2014 Federation Cup would be the qualifying tournament to determine the ACT qualifier for the inaugural 2014 FFA Cup, however the competition was not decided until after the qualifier needed to be named. The previous winner instead qualified to the Round of 32 for 2014. As compensation, winning this competition also entitled Belconnen United to enter the 2015 FFA Cup preliminary rounds in the Fifth round, one round later than the other ACT NPL teams.[2]
