How Does the Competition Work?

The Hanh Australia Cup is a national knockout tournament run by Football Australia. It begins with Preliminary Rounds across the country before moving into the Final Rounds—where A-League Men’s clubs, like the Bulls, enter at the Round of 32.

Every match must be decided on the day. If scores are level after 90 minutes, the game will go into extra time and, if needed, penalties.

What makes the Australia Cup special is its format, bringing together teams from both the A-League Men and the National Premier Leagues (NPL) from all over Australia.
