<P> The two major trophies for Welsh club teams playing in England are the 1927 FA Cup for Cardiff City and the 2013 League Cup trophy for Swansea City . </P> <P> The Welsh Premier League, originally named the League of Wales, was founded in 1992 as Wales did not have a national league at that time . Teams relegated from the Welsh Premier League are either relegated to the Cymru Alliance (Northern Wales) or the Welsh Football League (Southern Wales). Originally the Premier league had 18 teams, but for the 2010--11 season onwards there are only 12 after a proposal by the clubs in the League . </P> <P> In the north the Cymru Alliance has only one division, and has a feeder league structure of its own with three regional leagues feeding it--the Mid Wales League (covering Brecknockshire, Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire and Ceredigion) the Welsh Alliance League (covering all of the north except Wrexham) and the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) (covering the small region around Wrexham). Again, the champions or runners - up of these leagues can be promoted into the Cymru Alliance, given suitable grounds . </P> <P> Below these third tier leagues are even more localised leagues: in Central Wales there are four leagues feeding into the Mid Wales League (covering Ceredigion, Montgomeryshire, Mid Wales South, and Aberystwyth areas respectively), while below the Welsh Alliance there are the Gwynedd League and the Clwyd League and these even have feeder leagues of their own such as the Anglesey League . The Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) has three lower divisions of its own but no feeder leagues below it . </P>
