2022 Dockerty Cup


The 2022 Dockerty Cup was a football knockout-cup competition held between men's clubs in Victoria, Australia in 2022, the annual edition of the Dockerty Cup. Victorian soccer clubs from the National Premier Leagues Victoria divisions, State League divisions, regional, metros and masters leagues competed for the Dockerty Cup trophy.
The cup was won by Bentleigh Greens, their third title.
The competition also served as Qualifying Rounds for the 2022 Australia Cup. In addition to the three Victorian A-League clubs, the four Preliminary Round 7 winners qualified for the final rounds of the 2022 Australia Cup, entering at the Round of 32. As there was no NPL Champion in the previous year, an additional slot was allocated to Victoria. This had the knock-on effect that an extra playoff-round was required for the final rounds.
