Qualifying round

The draw for the qualifying round was made on 4 April 2018. FAI President Tony Fitzgerald was joined by Dundalk goalkeeper and three-time winner Gary Rogers and Irish Daily Mail Circulation Manager, David Vaz, to perform the draw.

A total of 20 teams entered the qualifying round, with four teams (Home Farm, Cockhill Celtic, Newmarket Celtic and Blarney United) receiving a bye to the first round proper. The remaining 16 teams played eight games, with the winners entering the first round proper.

The Irish Daily Mail introduced a cash prize for the non-league team that advanced the furthest in the competition, providing extra motivation for lower-tier clubs to excel.{{Cite web|url=http://www.sseairtricityleague.ie/news/match-details-confirmed-for-irish-daily-mail-fai-cup-qualifying-round/id-1503|title=SSE Airtricity League|website=www.sseairtricityleague.ie|language=en|access-date=2018-04-23}}
