The 2025 National Amateur Cup is the 101st edition of the National Amateur Cup, a knockout cup competition open to amateur teams affiliated with the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA). It was the seventh edition of the tournament to award its men's champion a spot in the U.S. Open Cup.

Contents

New York Pancyprian-Freedoms (NY) [1] and Pan World Elite WFC (UT) [2] are the defending Men's and Women's National Amateur Cup champions, respectively. However, New York Pancyprian-Freedoms failed to defend their Region I title, losing in the final.

West Chester United SC (PA) won the men's title, while Pan World Elite WFC (UT) successfully defended their women's title.

Format

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 with the minimum requirement of either a group of four teams each playing three games or an eight-game elimination tournament. [3] 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 determine the national champion.

Region I

Region I men's tournament

In total, 16 teams across seven state associations in USASA Region I and the National Premier Soccer League sent representatives to the tournament for the Fitz Marth Amateur Cup. [4] The Eastern Premier Soccer League was the most represented league in the region with six teams participating. Pennsylvania was the most represented state in the tournament with three teams taking part.

The final of the regional tournament will take place on June 14 at the Ukrainian American Sports Center in North Wales, Pennsylvania. [5]
