The North Wales Coast FA Senior Challenge Cup is a football knockout tournament involving teams affiliated with the North Wales Coast Football Association (NWCFA).
It was first played in the 1923–24 season. The competition was suspended in 2014 due to a decreasing number of entries, with only six clubs applying to enter for 2014–15. The NWCFA had planned to revive it for the 2020–21, but the COVID-19 pandemic blocked these plans. It will return for 2026–27 including teams from tiers 1, 2 and 3 of the Welsh football league system.
