See main article: article and 2014 Foxtel Cup. Despite only forming as a new club in late 2013, the Western Storm were granted an invitation to compete in the Foxtel Cup knockout competition for 2014 ahead of 2013 runners-up Burnie.[11] The Storm scored a stirring victory against reigning Foxtel Cup champions West Adelaide in their debut game in Adelaide. However, the long trip to Perth mid-week saw them defeated by WAFL club West Perth in the Semi-finals.
The Tasmanian State League representative team competed against the North East Australian Football League representative team (which incorporates players from the four states and territories of the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory) on June 21.[12] [13]
