League Cup

The end of season finals series for the League Cup was held using the same format as the previous year, which included the top six teams from the NPL Tasmania as well as the premiers from the Northern Championship (Somerset) and Southern Championship (Glenorchy Knights). The quarter-final and semi-final matches were decided by random draw.[2] The competition was formerly known as the Victory Cup, but was renamed due to lapsing sponsorship arrangements.[3]
