The1921–22 FA Cup was the 47th season of the world's oldest football knockout competition; the Football Association Challenge Cup, orFA Cup for short.
The qualifying phase of the competition comprised eight rounds: an extra preliminary, preliminary and six sequentially numbered qualifying rounds. Twelve clubs won through to thefirst round proper draw from the 598 clubs who played in the qualifying rounds (including forty-eight in total who joined in qualifying rounds four and five).
For each successive round a draw was made pairing two teams for each tie. The default venue was the stadium of first of the two teams drawn; agreement was required from theFA to switch the venue; the FA could order a venue change if the appointed stadium was unsuitable. For matches where scores were level after ninety minutes a replay was arranged at the stadium of the team initially drawn as the away team; a thirty-minuteextra time period was played if the scores were level after ninety minutes. If the replayed match was drawn further replays, with extra time if necessary, were held at neutral venues until a winner was determined.
Initially and through to the third qualifying round the draw was arranged into twenty-four geographic based divisions. As a large number of clubs entered the tournament from lower down the English football league system the competition started with an extra preliminary and preliminary rounds prior to the first qualifying round; matches were played in the divisions until the third qualifying round. For qualifying rounds four and five, strongernon-League and lower divisionFootball League clubs were added to the draw. The final, sixth qualifying round, stage did not add any additional clubs to the draw and produced twelve clubs (from the 598 who contested the qualifying phase) to proceed to the first round proper.

The five rounds from the extra preliminary to the third qualifying involved 550 clubs from England and Wales. These were arranged into 24 geographically based divisions which thereby created matches against local rival clubs and limited the travelling required. Through a series of knock-out matches one team from each division progressed to the fourth qualifying round.
The number of clubs in each division varied: there were thirty-two clubs in divisions 8, 11 and 24 who all therefore played in the extra preliminary round, but only thirteen clubs in division 16 which commenced at the preliminary round with three clubs receivingbyes into the first qualifying round.
The division comprised 21 teams, of which 10 were drawn into the extra preliminary round to reduce the number to 16 teams required for 8 preliminary round ties.
