The 2014 Waratah Cup was the 12th season of Football NSW's knockout competition in the state of New South Wales, Australia, which ran from 15 March to 6 July. Clubs entered from the top four divisions of the State League (including the recently established National Premier Leagues NSW), as well as teams from various other amateur Associations.

The winners were Blacktown City, their 4th title (including the Statewide Cup competition).

The competition also served as qualifying rounds for the 2014 FFA Cup. The four semi-finalists qualified for the final rounds of the 2014 FFA Cup, entering at the round of 32. The four losing quarter-finalists then competed in a separate playoff event to determine the remaining three qualifiers.
