The Aston Villa team of 1897 that won The Double

This is a list of the major honours won by football clubs in England. It lists every English football club to have won any of the three major domestic trophies and five major European competitions which have existed at different times,[1] or the two global competitions FIFA recognizes.[2] These honours consist of the English football championship—The Football League up to 1992 or Premier League thereafter—the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Champions League or its predecessor the European Cup, the European Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Cup or its predecessor the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup or its predecessor the Intercontinental Cup.

Competitive football started in England with the FA Cup, the oldest football competition in the world,[3] first being competed for in the 1871–72 season when Wanderers beat Royal Engineers 1–0.[4] League football followed in the subsequent decade when The Football League was founded in 1888, with Preston North End winning the first title.[5] The Football League, which was renamed the First Division upon expansion of the league in 1892, remained the highest division of the English football league system until 1992 when the Premier League was founded.[6] The Football League also added a second major cup competition in 1960, when it founded the League Cup, invititation to which is restricted to the 92 members of the league. Despite not winning the league since the 1989–90 season, Liverpool jointly hold the record of 18 league championships with Manchester United.[7] Liverpool hold the record number of League Cup titles with seven victories in the final,[8] and Manchester United have won the most FA Cups with the 2004 title being their 11th.[9][10]

European competition started in 1955 with the European Cup and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, which was succeeded by the UEFA Cup for the 1971–72 season.[11] The Cup Winners' Cup followed in 1960 but was discontinued in 1999.[12] As of the 2006–07 season, 32 English teams have competed in the three main European competitions, 13 of which have lifted at least one trophy,[13] with four of those winning the European Cup—Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest.[14]

Intercontinental competition started in 1960 with the Intercontinental Cup, which consisted of a two-legged tie between the European Cup and the South American Copa Libertadores winners from 1960 to 1979. In 1980, it became known as the Toyota Cup, and consisted of a single match played in Japan. The last edition was played in 2004, whereupon it was replaced by the FIFA Club World Cup, a knock-out tournament featuring the champions of all six continental confederations.[15] Manchester United were the first and, as of 2009, the only English team to win either of these competitions, winning the Intercontinental Cup in 1999 and the Club World Cup in 2008.[2]

Note: teams in bold have won two or more of the above-mentioned trophies in the same season at least once.

Always the bridesmaid

Only three clubs which have yet to break their honours 'duck' have been runners-up in a major competition more than once. These are Oldham Athletic (League runners-up and League Cup runners-up), Watford (League runners-up and FA Cup runners-up) and Queen's Park (twice FA Cup runners-up).

It should be noted that Queen's Park are a Scottish club who, like many others at the time, used to compete in the FA Cup. They have not done so since the 1880s however and have won no fewer than 10 Scottish Cups. As such they do not really constitute a 'bridesmaid' team.
