1988 Chatham Cup

The 1988 Chatham Cup was the 61st annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.

Chatham Cup
year =1988
date =first leg: October 22; second leg - October 24
venue=first leg: Queen Elizabeth II Park, Christchurch
second leg: Muir Park, Hamilton

Up to the last 16 of the competition, the cup was run in three regions (northern, central, and southern). National League teams received a bye until the final 32 stage. In all, 147 teams took part in the competition, a new record for the time.

The final was the third and last to be held over home and away legs. The format was abandoned for the 1989 Chatham Cup as it proved unpopular. The 1988 final was the only one to be decided on the away goals rule, with Waikato United winning after scoring more goals in the first leg in Christchurch, despite both matches ending in draws.
