Champions | Eastern Suburbs (4th title) |
Runner-up | Christchurch Technical |
The 1968 Chatham Cup was the 41st annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.
Early stages of the competition were run on a regional basis. In all, 93 teams took part in the competition. Note: Different sources give different numberings for the rounds of the competition: some start round one with the beginning of the regional qualifications; others start numbering from the first national knock-out stage. The former numbering scheme is used in this article.
The final was a one-sided affair, with Suburbs proving too strong for the southerners. John Wrathall scored both goals in the final, putting the ball past Tech keeper (and future national team coach) Ian Marshall. [1]
