FA Cup: A Comprehensive History
Top FA Cup Winners by Team
Since its inception in 1872, the FA Cup has witnessed 44 different clubs emerge as champions. Arsenal stands tall with a record-breaking 14 victories, followed by Manchester United's 12 triumphs. Other notable winners include Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
The Early Years
The inaugural FA Cup final in 1872 saw Wanderers emerge victorious. The cup has been lifted by the same team in two or more consecutive years on several occasions.
International Representation
Despite England's dominance, the FA Cup has also seen a glimpse of international success. In 1927, Cardiff City became the first Welsh club to win the trophy. However, no Scottish clubs have yet managed to claim the coveted cup, with Queens Park reaching the final twice as their closest attempt.
