Clubs entered from the National Premier Leagues WA, the two divisions of the State League, a limited number of teams from various divisions of the 2015 Sunday League competition, and from regional teams invited from the South West, Goldfields, Great Southern and Midwest regions.[3][4]
This knockout competition was won by Sorrento, their 3rd title.[5]

In addition to the A-League club Perth Glory, the two finalists – Perth SC and Sorrento FC – qualified for the final rounds of the 2015 FFA Cup, entering at the Round of 32, where they were both eliminated.
