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 1968 final== The final was a one-sided affair, with Suburbs proving too strong for the southerners. [John Wrathall](/source/John_Wrathall_(footballer)) scored both goals in the final, putting the ball past Tech keeper (and future national team coach) [Ian Marshall](/source/Ian_Marshall_(football_coach)).{{HiltonNZAssoc}} p. 75 ==Results== ===Third Round=== {{football box | bg = #eeeeee | date = | team1 = [Caversham](/source/Caversham_(soccer)) | score
