The North Macedonia national amateur football team represents North Macedonia in the UEFA Regions' Cup in men's international football, and is controlled by the Football Federation of Macedonia, the governing body for football in North Macedonia. As of the 2025 edition, the players are known to be picked from the Macedonian Second Football League, the tier 2 in the North Macedonia league system.

The team started play in its current form in 2018 as Amateurs Macedonia. They started in the preliminary round in the 2019 edition where they got 2 wins against Serbiska KoIF Kozara from Sweden and the South Wales Football Association from Wales to make it to the intermediate round. From 2023 onwards they've entered directly in the intermediate round. The team has yet to reach the Final 8 main phase of the Regions' Cup, and has yet to win a match in the intermediate round as of the 2025 edition.

North Macedonia has previously been represented by various regional sides, for instance a team representing the Northeastern Statistical Region in the 2017 UEFA Regions' Cup.
