The 2024 National Amateur Cup was the 100th edition of the National Amateur Cup, a knockout cup competition open to amateur teams affiliated with the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA). It will be the sixth edition of the tournament to award its men's champion a spot in the U.S. Open Cup.
SC MesoAmerica (CA) and NTX Image (TX) were the defending Men's and Women's National Amateur Cup champions, respectively. However, SC MesoAmerica did not participate in regional qualifying while NTX Image failed to defend their Region III title.
New York Pancyprian-Freedoms (NY) won the men's title, while Pan World Elite WFC (UT) won the women's title.
Each of the USASA's four regions hold qualifying tournaments to determine a regional champion. The format of the qualifying tournament is left to the discretion of each region, though a single-elimination tournament is the most common format used. The four regional champions then compete in a single-elimination tournament at a neutral location to detemine the national champion.
In total, 16 teams across seven state associations [lower-alpha 1] in USASA Region I and the National Premier Soccer League sent representatives to the tournament for the Fitz Marth Amateur Cup. [1] The Eastern Premier Soccer League was the most represented league in the region with six teams participating. New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia were tied for the most represented state in the tournament with each having three teams taking part.
The final of the regional tournament took place on June 15 at the Ukrainian American Sports Center in North Wales, Pennsylvania.
