The 2014 Canadian Championship (officially the Amway Canadian Championship for sponsorship reasons) was a soccer tournament hosted and organized by the Canadian Soccer Association that took place in the cities of Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver in 2014. For the first time in the history of the tournament, the Ottawa Fury FC participated in addition to FC Edmonton, the Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. As winners, the Montreal Impact were awarded the Voyageurs Cup and became Canada's entry into the group stage of the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League. It was the seventh edition of the annual Canadian Championship.
Bracket
The three Major League Soccer Canadian clubs were seeded according to their final position in 2013 league play. The fourth seed was allocated to the winner of the preliminary round between the participating NASL clubs.
All rounds of the competition were played via a two-leg home-and-away knock-out format. The higher seeded team had the option of deciding which leg they played at home. The team that scored the higher aggregate of goals in the two matches advanced. As in previous years, the team that won the final on aggregate, the Montreal Impact, was declared champion and earned the right to represent Canada in the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League.
- Each round was a two-legged series with the away goals rule.
