The FA Cup, also known officially as The Football Association Challenge Cup, is an annual knockout football competition in men’s domestic English football. It is organised by and named after The Football Association (The FA). First played during the 1871-72 season, it is the oldest national football competition in the world. The competition is open to any eligible club down to Level 10 of the English football league system.
All 92 professional clubs in the Premier League (Level 1) and the English Football League (Levels 2 to 4), and several hundred “non-League” teams in Steps 1 to 6 of the National League System (Levels 5 to 10). Winners receive the FA Cup trophy, and also qualify for the Europa League and a place in the FA Community Shield match.
Here are the FA Cup winners since 1872.
