Finals series
After the home and away season, the finals series began with the top four teams competing for the champions trophy. The finals series used a modified Page playoff system, with the difference that each first-round game would be played over two legs. The winner of the finals series, Blacktown City Demons FC was crowned as the NSW Premier League champions and as the holder of the top position on the league ladder were also named premiers.
Standard cup rules – such as the away goals rule (two-leg ties only), extra time and penalty shootouts were used to decide drawn games.
