First round
The first round draw was held on 18 September, again at the FAW's headquarters in Cardiff. The ties were all played on Sunday 8 October 2017, except the Caerphilly Castle v Newcastle Emlyn and Abergavenny v Penybont games, which were both cancelled and the wins awarded to the home teams.
The draw was made on 5 February, with matches originally scheduled to be played on 4 March at neutral venues. Cardiff City and Abergavenny both were reinstated into the competition, having originally been eliminated by Cardiff Met in the second round and quarter-final respectively, after it had emerged that The Archers had fielded two under-aged players in the game against Cardiff City. City then beat Abergavenny in a replayed quarter final to take a place in the semi-finals.
