The 1960 NSW Federation Cup was the fourth edition of the NSW Soccer Federation's premier soccer cup. This was the second season the tournament received sponsorship by W.D. & H.O. Wills and was called the "Ascot Thousand" after their popular cigarette. The cup was contested by all fourteen first division clubs and the top two placed second division clubs in the premiership. The £1000 prize money was divided among the first four placings, with first place receiving £600, second place £250, third place £100 and fourth place £50.[1][2][3]
Sydney Hakoah were the defending champions, having beaten Sydney Prague 2–0 in last year's final. They were eliminated in the first round by Bankstown, who went on to defeat reigning Ampol Cup champions, Budapest 2–1 in the semi-finals.
The final was played on 23 October 1960 between Bankstown and league champions, Canterbury-Marrickville. Bankstown won the match 1–0 to claim their first title.
