The Waratah Cup is a knockout cup competition in New South Wales, run by the governing body of football in NSW, Football NSW. Teams competing in the Waratah Cup come from the NPL NSW, NPL NSW 2, NSW State League Division One, NSW State League Division Two and numerous other semi professional & amateur association clubs within New South Wales. The Cup is held during the NPL NSW and state league seasons. Since 2014 preliminary rounds of the Waratah Cup have been used to determine the NSW entrants to the national FFA Cup. [1]
History

Blacktown City Football Club and Sydney United 58 have won the cup the most times with four wins. Sydney Crescent Star are the only non-league team to win the competition in 2004.
