The 2014 Cyprus Cup was the seventh edition of the Cyprus Cup, an invitational women's football tournament held annually in Cyprus. It took place between 5–12 March 2014.
France won the final over defending champions England. For the first time, Canada did not reach the final, eventually finishing in fifth place.
The first phase of the tournament was a group stage in which the twelve invited teams were divided into three groups of four teams. Each group was a round-robin of six games, where each team played one match against each of the other teams in the same group. The group stage was followed by a single "finals day" in which six games involving all twelve teams were played to determine the tournament's final standings, with the matchups being determined as follows:
1st place match: Winners of Groups A and B.
3rd place match: Winner of Group C and best runner-up from Groups A and B.
5th place match: Runner-up in Group C and second-best runner-up from Groups A and B.
7th place match: Third-place teams in Groups A and B.
9th place match: Third-place team in Group C and best fourth-place team from Groups A and B.
11th place match: Fourth-place team in Group C and second-best fourth-place team from Groups A and B.
Games will be played in 4 host stadiums in 3 cities.
