Teams
The tournament featured the 2018 USASA National Amateur Cup winner Milwaukee Bavarian SC and the defending Steinbrecher Cup winner Flint City Bucks, rebranded from Michigan Bucks. Ordinarily the tournament would have featured the 2018 PDL champion Calgary Foothills FC and the 2018 National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) champion Miami FC 2, but Calgary was ineligible due to being based in Canada and Miami was ineligible due to being a professional club. In their place, PDL runner-up Reading United AC and NPSL runner-up FC Motown were invited. Chicago FC United 2018 PDL National Semi-Finalist took the USL League 2 spot after Reading elected not to participate.USL League 2 Staff [https://www.greenbayvoyageurs.com/news_article/show/1025327 "FLINT CITY AND CHICAGO TO PARTICIPATE IN HANK STEINBRECHER CUP"] Green Bay Vouagers News , May 31, 2019
