The 2024 PFF Women's Cup was the 4th edition of the cup competition.[1] Six teams competed for this season which lasted from October 13 to December 9, 2024.[2] Far Eastern University is the previous edition's champion, but is unable to defend their title.

The competition was publicly announced in September 2024, and is meant to be a qualification tournament for the 2025 PFF Women's League season.[3][4] Coca-Cola Philippines serve as the title sponsor.[5][6]

The tournament was projected to have ten match days, most of them to be played at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila.[4] Some matches were played at Arca Open Field and the McKinley Hill Stadium; both in Taguig.[7][8] The format consist of a single round robin phase where the top four teams advanced to the semifinals.[9]

Stallion Laguna won their first title by winning 1–0 over Kaya–Iloilo in the Final.[10]

Participating teams

There are six participating teams.[11][5] Collegiate teams, who are usually staples of the competition, did not enter due to the conduct of the UAAP Season 87 women's football championship.[1]
