"Taking the finals to one of our premier venues in Wales offers us the chance to give our prestigious Welsh Cup competitions the prominence and profile they deserve," said Football Association of Wales (FAW) senior competitions manager Nick Davies.
"We are excited to be working alongside staff at Rodney Parade to deliver two great occasions and I'm looking forward to seeing the finalists battle it out for our famous trophy."
