The 2015 FFA Cup was the second season of the FFA Cup, the main national soccer knockout cup competition in Australia. 32 teams began competition in the competition proper (from the round of 32),[1] including all 10 A-League teams, the reigning National Premier Leagues Champion (North Eastern MetroStars from South Australia), and 21 Football Federation Australia (FFA) member federation teams determined through individual state-based preliminary rounds.[1] 2015 marks the first season in which teams from all nine FFA member federations participated, with the Northern Territory participating for the first time.[2]

Football Federation Australia announced in February 2015 that most of the games from the round of 32 onwards would be played on a Tuesday or Wednesday, with the final held on Saturday 7 November.[3]

The winner of the FFA Cup, Melbourne Victory, received $50,000 as part of a total prize money pool of $131,000.[4] The defending champions, Adelaide United, were knocked out in the quarter-final stage of the competition.[5]
