The 2024 National Amateur Cup is the 100th edition of the National Amateur Cup, a knockout cup competition open to amateur teams affiliated with the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA). It will be the sixth edition of the tournament to award its champion a spot in the U.S. Open Cup.

SC MesoAmerica are the defending National Amateur Cup champion.

Format[edit]

All four regions of the USASA will hold amateur cup tournaments to crown champions, which would then qualify for the final tournament. Qualification for these tournaments is determined individually by each region. The final four teams then compete in a single location knockout tournament to crown a national champion, with an additional game in place to determine both third and fourth place.

New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are tied for the most represented state in the tournament with each having three teams taking part.
