The 2014–15 Toto Cup Leumit was the 24th season of the second tier League Cup (as a separate competition) since its introduction. It was held in two stages. First, sixteen Liga Leumit teams were divided into four regionalized groups. The winners and runners-up advanced to the quarter-finals. Quarter-finals, semi-finals and the Final were held as one-legged matches. The final was played at the Ramat Gan Stadium on 9 December 2014, which saw Hapoel Bnei Lod defeat Bnei Yehuda with a score of 2–0.

The defending cup holders were Hapoel Rishon LeZion, having won the cup on its previous edition, but they were eliminated in the group stage.
