The 2014–15 Toto Cup Leumit was the 24th season of the second tier League Cup (as a separate competition) since its introduction. It was held in two stages. First, sixteen Liga Leumit teams were divided into four regionalized groups. The winners and runners-up advanced to the quarter-finals. Quarter-finals, semi-finals and the Final were held as one-legged matches. The final was played at the Ramat Gan Stadium on 9 December 2014, which saw Hapoel Bnei Lod defeat Bnei Yehuda with a score of 2–0.

The defending cup holders were Hapoel Rishon LeZion, having won the cup on its previous edition, but they were eliminated in the group stage.

Group stage

The draw took place on 30 June 2014.[1]

The matches are due to be played from 2 August to 16 August 2014. However the opening date was postponed because of the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.[2][3] and the group stage matches were played between 12 August and 19 August 2014.[4][5] The first round of group stage matches was played on 12 August 2014,[6][7] and the second the following Friday, 15 August 2014.[8][9]
