2014–15 Bavarian Cup

The 2014–15 Bavarian Cup (Bayerischer Toto-Pokal 2014–15) was the 18th edition of Bavaria’s regional cup, organized by the Bavarian Football Association (BFV). It’s open to senior men's teams in Bavaria’s football leagues and the 3. Liga, excluding Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga clubs, and reserves are not allowed. The winner earns a place in the first round of the next season’s DFB-Pokal.

64 teams competed in the first round. The final was played on 20 May 2015 in Weiden, where SpVgg Unterhaching defeated SpVgg SV Weiden on penalties after a 2–2 draw.

By winning, Unterhaching qualified for the 2015–16 DFB-Pokal first round. In that competition they beat FC Ingolstadt 04 2–1 in the first round, then RB Leipzig in the second round, before losing to Bayer Leverkusen in the third round.

Background notes:
