The 2014–15 Bavarian Cup (German: Bayerischer Toto-Pokal 2014–15) was the eighteenth edition of this competition, first held in 1998 and organised by the Bavarian Football Association (BFV). The winner qualified for the first round of the 2015–16 DFB-Pokal, the German Cup.
The competition was open to all senior men's football teams playing within the Bavarian football league system and the 3. Liga.
The final was played on 20 May in Weiden where Bayernliga club SpVgg SV Weiden lost to 3. Liga club SpVgg Unterhaching on penalties after a two-all draw after regular time.[2] Unterhaching went on defeat Bundesliga club FC Ingolstadt 04 2–1 in the first round of the DFB-Pokal and advanced to the second round,[3] where it defeated 2. Bundesliga club RB Leipzig[4] before being knocked-out by Bayer Leverkusen in the third round.[5]
History
The Bavarian Cup, officially referred to as the Bayerischer Toto-Pokal for sponsorship reasons was established in 1998. Until 2009 it was contested by only eight clubs, qualified through the seven annual regional cup competitions. Since 2009 the Bavarian Cup has been expanded to include 64 teams in the first round.[6]
The defending champions are Würzburger Kickers who defeated SV Schalding-Heining in the 2013–14 final.[7]
Rules and regulations
The competition is open to all member clubs of the Bavarian Football Association except the clubs playing in the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. Reserve teams are also barred from the competition. The Bavarian clubs from the 3. Liga and Regionalliga Bayern and the 24 District Cup (Kreispokale) winners qualified directly for the first round of the competition. The clubs from the two divisions of the Bayernliga and the five divisions of the Landesliga Bayern entered the qualifying stage of the competition. Clubs below the Landesliga had to take part in the Kreispokale to qualify.[8] The 2014–15 edition will be the last one to feature three qualifying rounds played in the season before. From 2015–16 onwards only two qualifying rounds will be held, taking place just before the first round proper. Only the Bayernliga clubs and the best ten clubs from each Landesliga division will then take part in this.[9]
For the 2014–15 edition this meant, with league membership in the 2013–14 season taken as reference, the three Bavarian 3. Liga clubs and the 13 Regionalliga Bayern clubs that were not reserve sides where automatically qualified. Additionally the 24 Kreispokal winners and 17 clubs qualified through the three rounds of qualifying entered the first round of the Bavarian Cup. The final seven clubs qualified to bring the number of teams up to 64 were the seven losing clubs from the 2013–14 competition from the third round and quarter finals that were not already qualified for the above reasons.[8]
For the first two rounds of the Cup the draw was subdivided into five regional areas, for the third round in four regional areas. From the quarter finals onwards no regional subdivision was applied anymore. Clubs from lower divisions were always awarded home advantage in the draw. Should both clubs in a match be of the same division the team drawn first received home advantage. If a game was drawn after regular time no extra time was played. Instead a penalty shoot out followed to determine the winner.[8]
The winner of the 2014–15 Bavarian Cup will be automatically qualified for the first round of the German Cup the following season. The second spot awarded to the Bavarian Football Association for the first round of the German Cup will go to the best-placed non-reserve side in the Regionalliga Bayern. Should the same team win the cup and finished as the best non-reserve side in the Regionalliga or qualify automatically as one of the top four teams in the 3. Liga the second spot would have gone to the losing finalist. Should the losing finalist also have qualified already as one of the top four 3. Liga clubs a decider would be played between the two losing semi finalists.[8]

The winner of the Bavarian Cup will also receive a starting fee from the DFB for participating in the first round of the DFB-Pokal. For the 2013–14 champion this was €140,000.
