Main draw wildcard entries
Four wildcards each will be awarded by internal selection to Australian players. Also, one wildcard each will be given to the winners of the Australian Wildcard Playoff, a tournament taking place in December 2014 between Australian players who did not receive direct entry into the draw.
In an agreement with the United States Tennis Association and the French Tennis Federation, Tennis Australia gives one man and one woman from the United States and France each a wildcard into the Australian Open. These players were chosen by internal selection.
