The 2014 AFC President's Cup was the tenth, and the last edition of the AFC President's Cup, a football competition organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for clubs from "emerging countries" in Asia.[1] Balkan were the defending champions, but failed to qualify for the tournament.

On 25 November 2013, the AFC Competitions Committee proposed that the 2014 AFC President's Cup to be the last edition of the competition.[2] Starting from 2015, league champions of "emerging countries" are eligible to participate in the AFC Cup qualifying play-off.[3]

In the final, HTTU Aşgabat of Turkmenistan defeated Rimyongsu of North Korea 2–1, and became the second consecutive team from Turkmenistan to win the AFC President's Cup.[4]

Notes
  1. ^ Philippines (PHI): The PFF–Smart National Club Championship served as the qualifiers for the Philippines' club representative to the 2014 AFC President Cup, instead of the United Football League, which served this purpose for the 2013 AFC President's Cup. This means that Ceres, the 2013 PFF–Smart National Club Championship champions, instead of Stallion, the 2013 United Football League champions, were chosen to represent the Philippines in the 2014 AFC President Cup.[7]
