The first round of the Sports Direct Women's FAI Cup will feature a blockbuster tie between Galway United and Shelbourne.

Fourteen teams were plucked from the cup itself at headquarters at the National Sports Campus, with holders Athlone Town receiving a bye to the next round.

All ties will be played on the week ending 4 August.
