The Cup featured 59 teams from the United States and one from Canada[2] that qualified through eight regional championships. Quidditch Club Boston won the Cup, defeating Rochester United in overtime,[3] 140–130* in the finals.

For the bracket phase, the 36 teams that advanced were seeded 1 to 36. Seeds 29–36 confronted each other in a play-in round to determine the four teams that would join seeds 1–28 for the round of 32.[5]
