2019 National Premier Leagues

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2019 National Premier Leagues was the seventh season of the Australian National Premier Leagues football competition. The league competition was played by eight separate state and territory member federations. The divisions are ACT, NSW, Northern NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. The winners of each respective divisional league competed in a finals series tournament at season end, culminating in a Grand Final.

Wollongong Wolves were crowned National Premier Leagues Champions and originally qualified directly for the 2020 FFA Cup Round of 32.[1] Since that competition was cancelled, Wollongong Wolves qualified for the 2021 FFA Cup Round of 32.[2]

ACT

Final Series

The winner of each league competition (top of the table) in the NPL competed in a single match knockout tournament to decide the National Premier Leagues Champion for 2019. Home advantage for the semi-finals and final was based on a formula relating to time of winning (normal time, extra time or penalties), goals scored and allowed, and yellow/red cards.[6] In addition, the winner will qualify for the 2020 FFA Cup Round of 32.
