The FAW Welsh Cup is the principal cup competition for clubs playing in the Welsh football leagues. This was founded in 1877 making it the third oldest competition of its type in the world behind the English FA Cup and the Scottish FA Cup.
The three most successful clubs in the competition’s history all play their football in the English Leagues with Wrexham winning on 23 occasions, Cardiff City with 22 wins and Swansea City with 10 wins. These clubs were invited to take part until 1995 when the rules changed to only allow clubs playing the Welsh system.
