The 1962 NSW Federation of Soccer Clubs (NSWSF) season was the sixth season of football in New South Wales under the administration of the federation since its breakaway from the NSW Soccer Football Association in January 1957. The season included three cup tournaments, including a new pre-season Wollongong Festival of Sport held in February, as well as the usual floodlight Ampol Cup pre-season night series tournament and the post-season Federation Cup (now called the Craven A Cup for sponsorship reasons). The home and away league season began in April with twelve teams, culminating with the grand final held in September. Winners of the tournaments for the season were South Coast United in the Wollongong Festival of Sport, Prague in the Ampol Cup, APIA Leichhardt FC in the Craven A Cup, and in the league Budapest were the premiers and Hakoah were the grand final winners.
Teams from the Federation also participated in the newly formed Australia Cup, in which clubs would participate against teams from other federations in the country. New South Wales club, SSC Yugal would win this inaugural competition.
Also in the post-season, players would get the chance to represent the federation in the Australian Interstate Championships, with this season being the first sponsored by the Australian Soccer Federation. New South Wales would win this tournament.
