Copa de Gales

La Copa de Gales (en inglés y oficialmente: Welsh Cup) es un torneo anual de fútbol eliminatorio a partido único en el que inicialmente solo jugaban los equipos del país de Gales. También jugaban los equipos procedentes de Inglaterra cercanos a Gales, como el Tranmere Rovers y el Bristol City. Desde mediados de 1990, los equipos galeses que consiguen el triunfo pasan a disputar la Copa de la UEFA. Desde 1995 no se permite jugar a los clubes que compiten para ligas inglesas, lo cual excluye a los tres 'grandes' de Gales, el Cardiff City, el Swansea City y el Wrexham.
