The preliminary rounds for the 1894–95 Scottish Cup took place between 1 September and 17 November 1894 to decide the 16 teams that would join the 16 exempt clubs in the first round.

A total of 130 teams entered the preliminary rounds which were open to all members of the Scottish FA.

After the completion of the four preliminary rounds which saw 669 goals scored across 114 matches, Airdrieonians, Annbank, Ayr Parkhouse, Forfar Athletic, Galston, Kilmarnock, King's Park, Lochee United, Motherwell, Mossend Swifts, Orion, Polton Vale, Raith Rovers, Slamannan Rovers, Stevenston Thistle and 5th Kirkcudbright RV advanced to the first round.

Following the introduction of the Scottish Qualifying Cup in 1895–96, this would be the last season to feature preliminary rounds for 118 years.

Format

Alongside the four semi-finalists from the previous season, 12 further teams were voted to be exempt from competing in the preliminary rounds. The names of the remaining clubs were placed into lots according to their districts and drawn into pairs. The home team would be the first team drawn unless only one of the clubs in a pair had a private ground. In the event of a draw, the second team drawn would have the choice of ground for the replay. This process was repeated for the second and third preliminary rounds. All competing clubs were placed into a single lot for the fourth preliminary round.^[1]

Teams

At a committee meeting on 29 May 1894, the 16 teams to be exempt from the preliminary rounds were decided. By virtue of being semi-finalists in 1893–94, Celtic, Queen's Park, Rangers and 3rd Lanark RV were the first to be exempt. Following a vote, Heart of Midlothian, Dumbarton, Dundee, St Bernard's, St Mirren, Hibernian, Leith Athletic, Clyde, Renton, East Stirlingshire, Battlefield and Abercorn were given an exemption from the preliminary rounds.^[2]
