The 2015 FFA Cup Final was the 2nd final of the premier association football knockout cup competition in Australia. The match was held on 7 November 2015 at AAMI Park. The final was held on a Saturday night for the first time.Adelaide United were the defending champions, though they were knocked out of the competition at the Quarter-Final stage by rivals Melbourne Victory.

Perth Glory qualified for the FFA Cup Final on 21 October 2015, with a 3–1 victory over Melbourne City at Nib Stadium. Melbourne Victory qualified for the FFA Cup Final on 28 October 2015, with a 3–0 victory over Hume City at AAMI Park.

Melbourne Victory won the match 2–0, with goals from Oliver Bozanic and Besart Berisha.

On 27 October 2015, Football Federation Australia announced the 2015 FFA Cup Final would be held at either AAMI Park in Melbourne or Perth’s nib Stadium. The choice of venue depended on the result of the second semi-final match between Hume City and Melbourne Victory. If Melbourne Victory defeat Hume City, the 2015 Final would be held at AAMI Park. A Hume City win would see the other successful semi-finalist, Perth Glory, host event at nib Stadium. Melbourne Victory's win confirmed the Final venue to be AAMI Park.

The home ground of Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City since its opening in 2010, AAMI Park holds a capacity crowd of 30,050 which makes it the largest capacity rectangular field venue in Victoria. The stadium was one of five host venues for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.
