This year, the entry fee for participating in the competition will be reintroduced at £42.00 (£7.00 x 6 players). This entry fee will be ring-fenced, as it has been in previous years, to support the winning club should they accept the invitation to represent Wales at the European Cup in November.
The executive is reviewing the Welsh Cup document for 2025, including the playing format, which will depend on the number of confirmed clubs.
The competition will take place over the weekend of July 5th and 6th.
The draw will be undertaken once all the clubs have confirmed their entry.

Follow this link for the Rules for the Welsh Cup. This will be updated when required.
Ideally, the Welsh Club Champions shall be based on the total number of points won. However, should there be a tie on the number of wins, then Article 22, detailed in the published Rules European Cup For Clubs, shall be used, which states that:
The following formula will be applied to decide the results:
- The number of Match Points, if two or more teams are tied, then:
- Game Points between the tied teams.
- Points Difference between the tied teams.
- Points Difference between all the teams in the group.
All results must be relayed to the WPA Executive using the official Registration/Score Sheet.
European Cup for Clubs
Although the Welsh Cup is an inter-club competition, it also has a European aspect. The WPA will ask the winning Club if they wish to participate in the European Cup, to be held in France at the end of the year. This invitation is NOT a compulsory requirement for the winning Club and may be declined.
The European Cup for Clubs is organised by the Confédération Européenne de Pétanque (CEP). Click here to learn more.
