1888–89 FA Cup qualifying rounds

The FA Cup, from this season onwards, began to incorporate a series of qualifying rounds in order to determine qualifiers for the actual Cup competition itself. The qualifying rounds were made up of amateur teams, semi-professional teams, and professional sides not yet associated with the Football League, such as Nottingham Forest. The only game to be played on Christmas Day took place, Linfield Athletic beating Cliftonville 7-0.^[1] Everton became the first Football League team to withdraw from the Cup after drawing Ulster in the first qualifying round.^[2]

See FA Cup 1888-89 for details of the rounds from the First Round onwards.
