Nedbank Cup is a South African club football (soccer) tournament. The knockout tournament, based on the English FA Cup format, was one of a weak opponent facing a stronger one. The competition was sponsored by ABSA until 2007, after which Nedbank took over sponsorship.

Format

The 16 Premiership clubs, 8 National First Division teams, as well as 8 teams from the amateur ranks competed for the prize money of R6 million. The winner also qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup.

The teams are not seeded at any stage, and the first 16 sides drawn out of the hat received home-ground advantage. There were no longer any replays in the tournament, and any games which ended in a draw after 90 minutes were subject to 30 minutes extra time followed by penalties if necessary.
