2016 Dockerty Cup

The Dockerty Cup (also occasionally spelled erroneously as Docherty Cup[1][2]) is a football (soccer) competition held between clubs in Victoria, Australia. It is named after Harry Dockerty, a former president of the Victorian Soccer Federation.[3] The competition was in recess since from 1996 until 2011, with the exception of 2004. The competition was open to all Victorian clubs from all divisions, except for the years 1977 to 1984 when Victorian teams participating in the National Soccer League were not allowed to enter.

A Victorian cup competition was reintroduced in 2011, known as the Mirabella Cup due to naming rights sponsorship, with a new trophy. That arrangement lasted only one season, with the competition being named the Statewide Knockout Cup in 2012 and 2013. However, in both years, the winner was awarded with the Dockerty Cup trophy.[4][5]

From 2014 onwards, the Dockerty Cup is also a qualifying completion for the FFA Cup.

Current Cup Competitions 2014-onwards

The 2014 Dockerty Cup was also a qualifying completion for the inaugural 2014 FFA Cup, where the four semi-finalists qualified for the Round of 32.

For 2015, the preliminary rounds of the 2015 FFA Cup replaced the early rounds of the competition; the 4 Victorian qualifiers to the Round of 32 then compete in the semi-finals of the 2015 Dockerty Cup. [6]
