 2024–25 FAW Women's Cup | |
TheFA of Wales Women's Challenge Cup, better known as theWelsh Women's Cup is the nationalwomen's football cup competition for Wales. It is run by theFootball Association of Wales.
As Wales had no national league for women until the establishment of theWelsh Premier League in the 2009–10 season the Welsh Cup was the only ticket to theWomen's Champions League. Unlike in the men's game, however, English-oriented clubs are allowed to participate.Cardiff City Ladies won eight consecutive cups from 2003 to 2010.
Following a number of high scoring, one sided matches in the opening round of the2012–13 competition, the league's unofficial website called on the FAW to consider revamping the competition[1] to avoid such embarrassing results in future seasons and encourage greater lower league participation.
