The 2016 FFA Cup was the third season of the FFA Cup, the main national soccer knockout cup competition in Australia. 32 teams again took part in the competition proper (from the Round of 32), including the 10 A-League teams and 21 Football Federation Australia (FFA) member federation teams determined through individual state qualifying rounds, as well as the reigning National Premier Leagues Champion (Blacktown City from NSW).
The winner of the FFA Cup, Melbourne City, received $50,000 as part of a total prize money pool of $131,000. The defending champions, Melbourne Victory, were knocked out in the Semi Final stage of the competition.
The prize fund is unchanged from the 2015 event.
In addition, a further $2,500 is donated from sponsor NAB to Member Federation clubs for each goal scored by them against an A-League opposition.
Clubs to receive donations were: Green Gully ($5,000), Redlands United ($5,000), Brisbane Strikers ($2,500), Edgeworth FC ($2,500) and Floreat Athena ($2,500).
FFA member federations teams competed 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 FFA member federation, however only one team per club is permitted entry in the competition. All nine FFA member federations participated. The number of qualification spots per member federation is unchanged from the 2015 tournament.
