Welsh Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Welsh Cup is a knock-out football competition contested annually by teams from Wales.
The Football Association of Wales is the organising body of this competition, which has been run (except during the two World Wars) every year since its inception in 1877-78. The winning team qualifies to play in the following season's UEFA Cup (previously teams qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup, which was discontinued in 1999).
Until 1995, clubs playing in those parts of England close to the Welsh border could also play in the Welsh Cup, but could not progress to the UEFA Cup even if they won the Cup. Since 1995, only clubs playing in the Welsh football league system have been allowed to enter the Welsh Cup, which also excludes the few Welsh clubs who play in the English football league system, such as the three professional sides Cardiff City, Swansea City and Wrexham.
