1948–49 FA Cup
The 1948–49 FA Cup was the 68th staging of the world's oldest football cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup. Wolverhampton Wanderers won the competition for the third time, beating Leicester City 3–1 in the final at Wembley.
Matches were scheduled to be played at the stadium of the team named first on the date specified for each round, which was always a Saturday. Some matches, however, might be rescheduled for other days if there were clashes with games for other competitions or the weather was inclement. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played, a replay would take place at the stadium of the second-named team later the same week. If the replayed match was drawn further replays would be held until a winner was determined. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played in a replay, a 30-minute period of extra time would be played.
Most participating clubs that were not members of the Football League competed in the qualifying rounds to secure one of 25 places available in the first round.
The 25 winners from the fourth qualifying round were Billingham Synthonia, Scarborough, Horden Colliery Welfare, Workington, Netherfield, Rhyl, Witton Albion, Runcorn, Hereford United, Wellington Town, Scunthorpe & Lindsey United, Gainsborough Trinity, Peterborough United, Kidderminster Harriers, Cambridge Town, Walthamstow Avenue, Romford, Barnet, Tooting & Mitcham United, Dartford, Chelmsford City, Dulwich Hamlet, Weymouth, Gloucester City and Yeovil Town.
Those appearing in the competition proper for the first time were Billingham Synthonia, Witton Albion, Tooting & Mitcham United and Gloucester City, while Hereford United had not reached this stage since 1932–33 and Weymouth had not done so since 1926-27.
Weymouth was the most successful club from this season's extra preliminary round, progressing to the second round proper after defeating Bournemouth, Andover, Newport (IOW), Longfleet St Mary's, Poole Town, Trowbridge Town and Chelmsford City. Horden Colliery Welfare, Romford and Gloucester City also progressed from the extra preliminary round to the first round proper.
At this stage 41 clubs from the Football League Third Division North and South joined the 25 non-league clubs that came through the qualifying rounds. Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, Rotherham United and Swindon Town were given byes to the third round. To make the number of matches up, non-league sides Leytonstone and Colchester United were given byes to this round, with Leytonstone being the champions from the previous season's FA Amateur Cup and Colchester being the best-performed non-league club from the previous season's FA Cup.
34 matches were scheduled to be played on Saturday, 27 November 1948, with eight of these postponed until the following Saturday. Two were drawn and went to replays.
