The 1977 NSL Cup was the first edition of the National Soccer League Cup, which was a national association football (soccer) knockout cup competition in Australia. All 14 NSL teams from around Australia entered the competition and it immediately followed the home and away season, as there was no final series.[1][2][3] The competition was known as the Philips Cup under a sponsorship arrangement with Dutch company Philips.
