2019 National Amateur Cup
# 2019 National Amateur Cup

The 2019 National Amateur Cup was the 96th edition of the National Amateur Cup, a knockout cup competition open to amateur teams affiliated with the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA). This was the second edition of the tournament to award a spot in the U.S. Open Cup to its champion.

Newtown Pride FC won their first National Amateur Cup title, defeating Horizon FC 3–0 in the final.

## Format

All four regions of the USASA held tournaments to crown champions, which would then qualify for the final tournament. Qualification for these regionals was determined by each one, with USASA Region I, III, and IV awarding spots to the champions of each state or local association's amateur tournament.

The final four teams then compete in a single location knockout tournament to determine a national champion, with an additional game in place to crown both third and fourth place.
