Prize funds[edit]
Preliminary rounds[edit]
Member federation teams will compete in various state-based preliminary rounds to win one of 21 places in the competition proper (Round of 32). All Australian clubs are eligible to enter the qualifying process through their respective member federation, however, only one team per club is permitted entry into the competition. The preliminary rounds operate within a consistent national structure whereby club entry into the competition is staggered in each state/territory, determined by what level the club sits at in the Australian soccer league system. This ultimately leads to round 7 with the winning clubs from that round entering directly into the round of 32. Additionally, the top eight placed A-League Men clubs for the 2022–23 A-League Men season will gain automatic qualification to the Round of 32. The remaining four teams will enter a play-off series to determine the remaining two positions.
