The format is similar to that which has been used since 1996, with four first round regions; North-West, North-East, South-West and South-East; which were used for the first time in the second region, before a two-region format from the area quarter-finals (3rd round); North and South. The resulting regional winners then meet in the final.

Luton Town were the defending champions, but were not allowed to defend the trophy due to relegation to the Conference in the same season.

The competition was won by Southampton who defeated Carlisle United 4–1 in the final.[1]
