This is the sixth year that the competition is known by the Kate Sheppard Cup, or New Zealand Football Foundation Kate Sheppard Cup for sponsorship purposes, after previously been known as the Women's Knockout Cup since its establishment.[1] The cup has had thirteen different winners lift the trophy over its 29-year history with Lynn-Avon United from Auckland being the most successful and Western Springs being the current holders from the 2023 season.

The 2024 competition has four rounds before quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final.[2] Competition will run in three regions (northern, central/capital, southern) until the quarter-finals, from which stage the draw will be open. In all, 53 teams entered the competition this year.[3][4]
