The 2014–15 Belarusian Cup was the 24th season of the Belarusian annual cup competition. Contrary to the league season, it has been conducted in a fall-spring rhythm. The first games were played on 22 May 2014. Winners of the Cup were to qualify for the second qualifying round of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League, but since BATE also won the 2014 league season, they went into Champions League instead.
