The 2024 National Amateur Cup is the 100th edition of the National Amateur Cup, a knockout cup competition open to amateur teams affiliated with the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA). It will be the sixth edition of the tournament to award its men's champion a spot in the U.S. Open Cup.

SC MesoAmerica (CA) and NTX Image (TX) were the defending Men's and Women's National Amateur Cup champions, respectively. SC MesoAmerica did not participate in regional qualifying while NTX Image failed to defend their Region III title.

Format

Each of the USASA's four regions hold qualifying tournaments to determine a regional champion. The format of the qualifying tournament is left to the discretion of each region, though a single-elimination tournament is the most common format used. The four regional champions then compete in a single-elimination tournament at a neutral location to detemine the national champion.
