The 2026 National Amateur Cup is the 102nd edition of the National Amateur Cup, a knockout cup competition open to amateur teams affiliated with the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA). It was the eighth edition of the tournament to award its men's champion a spot in the U.S. Open Cup.
West Chester United SC (PA)[1] and Pan World Elite WFC (UT)[2] are the defending Men's and Women's National Amateur Cup champions, respectively.
Format
Each of the USASA's four regions hold qualifying tournaments to determine a regional champion. The format of the qualifying tournament is left to the discretion of each region with the minimum requirement of either a group of four teams each playing three games or an eight-game elimination tournament. A single-elimination tournament is the most common format used. The four regional champions then compete in a single-elimination tournament at a neutral location to determine the national champion.[3]
Region I
Region I men's tournament
In total, 16 teams across seven state associations in USASA Region I and the National Premier Soccer League sent representatives to the tournament for the Fitz Marth Amateur Cup. Pennsylvania was the most represented state in the tournament with three teams taking part.
The final of the regional tournament will take place on June 6 at the Ukrainian American Sports Center in North Wales, Pennsylvania.[4]
