An eclipse of the moon happens when the shadow of the earth falls across the moon. This happens on a recurring basis and thus your question is meaningless - as eclipses of the moon have happened in the far past and will continue to happen into the fare future - counting them is impossible!

If the plane of the Moon's orbit were not tilted as compared to the ecliptic (the special name used for the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun) then there would be total solar eclipses at every new moon, and total lunar eclipses at every full moon. If the angle between the Moon's orbit and the ecliptic were more than it is, we would see fewer and shorter eclipses than we do.

An eclipse is an exorbitant occasion when one space body to some extent or completely swathes an additional space entity. We can see two kinds of eclipses from Earth - eclipses of the Sun (Solar eclipses), and eclipses of the Moon (Lunar eclipses). Solar eclipses: Solar eclipses can merely transpire for the duration of the new Moon, when the Moon budges flanked by Earth and Sun and the three extraterrestrial bodies' appearance a without delay line: Earth - Moon - Sun. There are 4 kinds of solar eclipses: total, partial, annular, and hybrid. Lunar eclipses: The Moon does not contain its individual light. It burnishes for the reason that its exterior reproduces the Sun's rays. A lunar eclipse transpires when the Earth comes flanked by the Sun and the Moon and chunks the Sun's rays commencing in a straight line attainment the Moon. Lunar eclipses merely come to pass at full Moon. There are 3 kinds of lunar eclipses: total, partial, and penumbral.
