1989 Chatham Cup

The 1989 Chatham Cup was the 62nd annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.

Chatham Cup
year =1989
date =September 17
venue=Newtown Park, Wellington

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, 153 teams took part in the competition, oustripping the previous year's record of 147.

From this year, the final reverted to a single game, rather than a tow-legged tie as had been the case for the previous three years' competitions. The final was very one-sided, with Christchurch United equalling the record of seven goals set by Seatoun in 1958. The aggregate of eight goals in the final also equalled the competition record. Mike McGarry became the tenth player to score a Chatham Cup final hat-trick, the first since Graham Dacombe's four goals - also for Christchurch United - in 1972. Christchurch United's Johan Verweij became the first player to score in three successive Chatham Cup finals.
