The 2004 '''[[Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup]]''' ran from June through September, 2004, open to all [[soccer]] teams in the United States.

The [[Kansas City Wizards]] won the Open Cup tournament with a 1–0 golden-goal victory over the defending-champion [[Chicago Fire S.C.|Chicago Fire]] at [[Arrowhead Stadium]] in [[Kansas City, Missouri]]. Kansas City missed out on a domestic double when the Wizards lost [[MLS Cup 2004]].

The Open Cup tournament was highlighted by [[A-League (1995–2004)|A-League]] side [[Charleston Battery]] reaching the semifinals, one of four USL teams to beat [[Major League Soccer]] teams. The 2004 tournament was also the final edition contested using [[sudden death (sport)|golden goal]] as opposed to more conventional soccer [[extra time]].
