Everything you need
to know
First created in 1987 by Central Coast Football Life Member Barry Margin, the Margin Cup was an annual end of season season competition held on the long weekend in October at Pluim Park.
2024 marked the return of the highly anticipated Margin Cup after a 20-year hiatus. After some slight changes to the structure of the Cup, it’s back again in 2025 as your team could finish preseason on a high and a nice prize pool to add to the kitty!
The 2025 edition of the Margin Cup will be a 8 A-Side tournament for players of all abilities and will span over just one day, March 29.
Alcohol will be sold the entire day thanks to our partners at Hawkesbury Brewing Co!
