2014 was the inaugural competition of the Schalke 04 Cup. Four teams participated in it, hosts Schalke 04 of the Bundesliga, Newcastle United and West Ham United of the Premier League, and Malaga of La Liga.[2] The first match of each day kicked off at 15:30 CET, with the second match of each day kicking off at 17:45 CET. Schalke 04 contested the second match on both days.[3]

Each match in the Schalke 04 Cup featured two matches of standard 2 x 45 minutes duration. The points were awarded according to a special system, with the winners of each game receiving the usual three points. However, if a game ended in a draw after 90 minutes, it will go straight to a penalty shoot-out. The winners of the shoot-out will gain two points, rather than the usual one point. The team with the highest number of points from two games will win the trophy.[4]

The tournament was organised by the Swiss company Kentaro AG.[5]
