Although only Merthyr Town and Swansea Town were featuring in the competition proper for the first time, the reconstituted Port Vale was appearing at this stage only seven seasons after the original Burslem Port Vale had resigned from the Football League and folded. Additionally, Chatham was progressing past the qualifying stages for the first time since 1888-89. Back at the extra preliminary round stage, 92 teams had kicked off the competition in September 1913. The most successful of these were future Football League members Ashington and West Midlands heavyweights Dudley Town, who both reached the fourth qualifying round before going out to Willington and Crewe Alexandra, respectively. First round proper 38 of the 40 clubs from the First and Second divisions joined the 12 clubs who came through the qualifying rounds. The other two sides, Stockport County and Glossop were entered in the fourth qualifying round, with Stockport going out at that stage to Gainsborough Trinity. The progression of Merthyr Town and Swansea Town meant that this was the first season since the introduction of FA Cup qualifying rounds that two teams from Wales featured in the first round proper. Their meeting at Vetch Field was the first all-Welsh tie in the main draw of the English FA Cup since Druids and Chirk faced off in the third round of the 1884–85 tournament. Fourteen Southern League sides were given byes to the first round to bring the total number of teams up to 64.
