The2013–14 Northern Premier League Challenge Cup is the 44th season of theNorthern Premier League Challenge Cup, the main cup competition in theNorthern Premier League. It will be sponsored by Doodson Sport for a third consecutive season. 68 clubs from England will enter the competition, beginning with the preliminary round on 3 September.[10]
The defending champions areNorth Ferriby United, who beatCurzon Ashton on penalties after a 1–1 result in regulation and extra time in the2013 Final.[11][12] North Ferriby United will be unable to defend their title as they were promoted to theConference North after being the2012–13 NPL Premier Division champions.
Changes from previous cups include the elimination of a round by having the Premier Division teams enter in the first round instead of the third round as in previous years and, instead of going into extra time, all ties in the preliminary through semi-final rounds will end after 90 minutes and conclude with penalties.[10][13][14][15][16]
