    Notes

    The tiers that teams are in (as indicated in brackets next to their name) are based on the New Zealand football league system for the 2024 season. As some teams can qualify and play in more than one league (and tier) per season, the highest tier that they took part in at the time of the cup matches is the one noted next to their name.
