Preliminary rounds
{{Main|2015 FFA Cup preliminary rounds}}
FFA member federations teams competed in various state-based preliminary rounds to win one of 21 places in the competition proper (round of 32). All Australian clubs (other than youth teams associated with A-League franchises) were eligible to enter the qualifying process through their respective FFA member federation; however, only one team per club was permitted entry in the competition. All nine FFA member federations took part in the tournament, with the Northern Territory participating for the first time.{{cite web|title=NT to enter the fray in 2015|url=http://www.theffacup.com.au/article/nt-to-enter-the-fray-in-2015/pigxx6wvjucs1nr2sj6upzeg3|publisher=theffacup.com.au|access-date=26 November 2014}}
Player registration numbers in each jurisdiction were used to determine the number of qualifying teams for each member federation:
- NSW had five teams qualify.
- Queensland have four teams qualify.
- Victoria have four teams qualify.
- Northern NSW have two teams qualify.
- Western Australia have two teams qualify.
- ACT have one team qualify.
- Northern Territory have one team qualify.
- South Australia have one team qualify.
- Tasmania have one team qualify.
Unlike the previous season, this competition's preliminary rounds operated within a consistent national structure whereby club entry into the competition were staggered in each state or territory, ultimately leading to a seventh and final round, with the winning clubs from that round gaining direct entry into the round of 32. The first matches of the preliminary rounds began on 14 February, and the final matches of the preliminary rounds took place on 28 June.
Teams
A total of 32 teams participated in the 2015 FFA Cup competition proper, ten of which came from the A-League, one being the 2014 National Premier Leagues Champion (North Eastern MetroStars from South Australia), and the remaining 21 teams from FFA member federations, as determined by the preliminary rounds.{{cite web|title=Gallop flags ACL spot for 2016 FFA Cup winner|url=http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/gallop-flags-acl-spot-2016-ffa-cup-winner#A88vGc5YmJTiy3rv.99|publisher=FourFourTwo (Australia)|access-date=19 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141219033711/http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/gallop-flags-acl-spot-2016-ffa-cup-winner#A88vGc5YmJTiy3rv.99|archive-date=19 December 2014|url-status=dead}} A-League clubs represent the highest level in the Australian league system, whereas member federation clubs come from Level 2 and below.
