Registrations for the Delivereasy Chatham Cup and the Delivereasy Kate Sheppard Cup are now open for 2026.

Clubs can enter both competitions from today and must submit their entries no later than 2 April 2026.

The Delivereasy Chatham Cup is the oldest men’s football trophy in New Zealand with the competition dating back more than a century to 1923.

The Delivereasy Kate Sheppard Cup was founded in 1994 and has been contested annually every year apart from 2020, which was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Defending champions Auckland United and Wellington Olympic will be aiming for cup three-peats this year.

Auckland United won their second consecutive Delivereasy Kate Sheppard Cup crown last year after a 4-1 win over the Wellington Phoenix Women’s Reserves in the 2025 final at North Harbour Stadium. 

Wellington Olympic also went back-to-back in the Delivereasy Chatham Cup in 2025, defeating Auckland United 4-2 in last year's final at North Harbour Stadium.
