The 1962 NSW Federation Cup was the sixth edition of the NSW Soccer Federation's premier soccer cup. With a £1000 first place prize money, the tournament was sponsored by W.D. & H.O. Wills and called the "Craven A Cup" after their popular cigarette. The cup was contested by all twelve first division clubs and four second division clubs, Balgownie, Corinthians, Croatia and Sydney Austral.[1][2]
Sydney Hakoah were the defending champions, having beaten Canterbury-Marrickville 2–0 in last year's final. They were eliminated in the first round by an avenged Canterbury-Marrickville.
The final was played on 4 November 1962 between APIA Leichhardt and Canterbury-Marrickville. APIA won the match 5–1 and to claim their first title. As part of a double header, Gladesville-Ryde beat Budapest, also to a scoreline of 5–1 to claim third place.
