Finals series

The winner of the finals series, Blacktown City Demons FC was crowned as the NSW Premier League champions and as the holder of the top position on the league ladder were also named premiers.
Standard cup rules – such as the away goals rule (two-leg ties only), extra time and penalty shootouts were used to decide drawn games.
