The tiers that teams are in (as indicated in brackets next to their name) are based on the New Zealand football league system for the 2025 season. As some teams can qualify and play in more than one league (and tier) per season, the highest tier that they took part in at the time of the cup matches is the one noted next to their name.

  1. ^ a b Six Southern League teams joined in the first round. All Northern and Central League teams joined the competition in the second round along with the remaining Southern League teams.
