Background

This is the second edition of this tournament, being played in a venue other than Male' since it was once held at Addu City in 1970. It is the first year for Kulhudhuffushi to host this tournament.[5]

Format

The first round, or group stage, was a competition between the 8 teams divided among two groups of four, where each group engaged in a round-robin tournament within itself. The two highest ranked teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage. Teams were awarded three points for a win and one for a draw. When comparing teams in a group over-all result came before head-to-head.

The two semi-final losers competed in a third place play-off. For any match after the group stage, a draw after 90 minutes of regulation time was followed by two 15 minute periods of extra time to determine a winner. If the teams were still tied, a penalty shoot-out was held to determine a winner

Broadcasting rights

The broadcasting rights for some matches of 2015 Maldives President's Cup were given to the Television Maldives.
