The Macron Cup is a premier pre-season football tournament bringing together Boys and Girls teams from leading clubs across Sydney for a high-quality competitive experience ahead of the regular season.
In 2027, the Macron Cup expands to include dedicated Boys and Girls competitions, each delivered across its own two-day tournament weekend.
Boys Macron Cup: 30–31 January 2027
Girls Macron Cup: 13–14 February 2027
The tournament caters for players across JDL and Youth age groups, providing clubs with valuable competitive preparation in an organised and professional tournament environment.
Teams compete in a structured group stage before progressing to a Cup or Plate Finals Series, ensuring every participating team has the opportunity to compete across both days of the tournament.
The Macron Cup is designed to provide players, coaches and clubs with meaningful pre-season matches while creating an environment that promotes development, competition, sportsmanship and enjoyment of the game.
With the introduction of the Boys competition and the continued growth of the Girls competition, 2027 represents the next stage in the development of the Macron Cup, bringing together more teams, age groups and venues across Sydney.
More than just a pre-season tournament, the Macron Cup is about opportunity and preparation — giving young footballers the chance to challenge themselves against quality opposition, build confidence as a team and prepare for the season ahead.
