The finals of New Zealand Football’s two top tier knockout cup competitions, the Chatham Cup and the Kate Sheppard Cup, have been confirmed for North Harbour Stadium in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland on Saturday 7 September, kicking off at 4pm (Kate Sheppard Cup) and 7pm (Chatham Cup). 

The Kate Sheppard Cup Final will see either Dunedin City Royals or holders Western Springs take on Wellington Phoenix Reserves or 2022 winners Auckland United.  

In the Chatham Cup Final, Coastal Spirit, or recently crowned Central League 2024 winners Wellington Olympic, will face 2022 winners Auckland City FC or 2018 winners Birkenhead United.

The semi-finals of both competitions will be played this weekend (17 and 18 August) and be broadcast live and free on FIFA+. 

Tickets for the double header cup finals will be available following conclusion of the semi-finals, with adult tickets priced at $10 (excluding ticketing fees), and free entry for under 14s. 

The kick-off time has been moved from the traditional early afternoon timeslot so as not to clash with the community football season, and will form part of a bumper weekend of New Zealand football action, with the All Whites taking on Mexico on Sunday 8 September at The Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, USA. 

The Chatham Cup Final, Kate Sheppard Cup Final, and the All Whites two US tour games will all be available to watch live and free on FIFA+.
