Teams
editTeams competing in the Prva HNLŽ and Druga HNLŽ are required to participate in the cup, but the registration is open to any other teams meeting the requirements.[3] No teams outside of the two top tiers of women's league registered for the 2024–25 season, and the cup is thus contested by 22 teams.[a][b]

Preliminary round
editThe Druga HNLŽ teams compete in a preliminary round for (unseeded) spots in the first round. Since there are only 14 Druga HNLŽ teams participating in the 2024–25 season, and there are 8 unseeded spots in the first round, only six matches take place. Donat (relegated from Prva HNLŽ in the 2023–24 season) and Višnjevac (The 2023–24 champions of Druga HNLŽ group B) were given a bye. The matchups draw is biased by geographical proximity, in order to alleviate the economic burden on the participating clubs.[3]
