Welsh Cup |
 |
The Football Association of Wales Welsh Cup was inagurated in 1877 in
the same manner as the F.A. Cup in England. It survives to this day as
the primary knock-out competition in the Principality, with European
qualification for the winners, but the clubs playing in the English league
system have been prevented from competing in the Welsh Cup in recent years.
