The winners of each group joined the 64-team field of the 2012 U.S. Open Cup. The winner of the championship match also advanced to the USASA National Cup final four in Chicago in mid-July.

Though Texas is officially in USASA Region III, El Paso–based EP Elite were given special permission to attempt to qualify through Region IV representing neighboring New Mexico,[2] but then failed to show up to the tournament and forfeited all their matches.[3]
