1998–99 FA Cup qualifying rounds
The 1998–99 FA Cup Qualifying Rounds opened the 118th season of competition in England for 'The Football Association Challenge Cup', the world's oldest association football single knockout competition. A total of 558 clubs were accepted for the competition, down five from the previous season’s 563.
The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down in the English football pyramid meant that the competition started with five rounds of preliminary and qualifying knockouts for these non-League teams. The 32 winning teams from Fourth Round Qualifying progressed to the First Round Proper, where League teams tiered at Levels 3 and 4 entered the competition.Calendar
