The 2011–12 Welsh Cup saw the return of Western League side Merthyr Town and Conference National sides Newport County and Wrexham. Football League side Cardiff City, Conference North side Colwyn Bay, and Premier League side Swansea City rejected the invitation to participate in this season's Welsh Cup.
