The 2018 Kate Sheppard Cup is New Zealand's women's 25th annual knockout football competition.

Competition will run in three regions (northern, central, southern) until the quarter-finals, from which stage the draw will be open.

Dunedin Technical went on to win the game 4–2 meaning it was also the first time the trophy headed to the bottom of the South Island.

Shontelle Smith from Tech was the winner of the Maia Jackman trophy for the most valuable player.

The draw was originally done before the results of the Eastern Suburbs v Glenfield Rovers and Hamilton Wanderers v Forrest Hill Milford postponed matches where known.
