2025 Dockerty Cup

The Dockerty Cup is an annual soccer knock-out competition open to all Victorian clubs across the state's football league system. The tournament is named after Harry Dockerty, an early pioneer of soccer in Victoria.

Since 2014, the Dockerty Cup is also a qualifying competition for the Australia Cup (formerly known as the FFA Cup), where the four finalists enter the competition proper at the round of 32. The Dockerty Cup winner also qualifies to the following season's FV Community Shield in a one-off match against the reigning NPL Victoria champion.
