FAW Trophy


The FAW Welsh Trophy is a knock-out football competition contested annually by teams from Wales and the borders.
The Football Association of Wales is the organising body of this competition, which has been run every year since its inception in 1890–91 for clubs competing in the lower echelons of the Welsh football league system.
It was known as the Welsh Junior Cup until 1902, when it became the Welsh Amateur Cup, a title it held until 1974, when it was renamed the FAW Intermediate Cup. The competition took its current title in 1993.
