The cup was won by Bentleigh Greens, their third title.

The competition also served as Qualifying Rounds for the 2022 Australia Cup. In addition to the three Victorian A-League clubs, the four Preliminary Round 7 winners qualified for the final rounds of the 2022 Australia Cup, entering at the Round of 32.[1] As there was no NPL Champion in the previous year, an additional (fifth) slot was allocated to Victoria.[2] This had the knock-on effect that an extra playoff-round was required for the final rounds.[3]
