The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as theFA Cup,is aknockoutcompetition in Englishfootball,organised by and named afterThe Football Association(the FA). It is the oldest existing football competition in the world,[1]having commenced in the1871–72 season.[2]The tournament is open to all clubs in the top 10 levels of theEnglish football league system,although a club's home stadium must meet certain requirements prior to entering the tournament.[3]The competition culminates at the end of the league season (usually in May) with theFA Cup Final,officially named The Football Association Challenge Cup Final Tie, which has traditionally been regarded as the showpiece finale of the English football season.[4]

The vast majority of FA Cup final matches have been in London: most of these were played at the originalWembley Stadium,which was used from 1923 until the stadium closed in 2000. The other venues used for the final before 1923 wereKennington Oval,Crystal Palace,Stamford BridgeandLillie Bridge,all in London,Goodison Parkin Liverpool andFallowfield StadiumandOld Traffordin Manchester. TheMillennium StadiuminCardiffhosted the final for six years (2001–2006), while the new Wembley Stadium was under construction. Other grounds have been used for replays, which until 1999 took place if the initial match ended in a draw. Thenew Wembley Stadiumhas been the permanent venue of the final since 2007.

As of 2024, 44 clubs have won the FA Cup. The record for the most wins is held byArsenal,with 14 victories.[2]Only one surviving club,Blackburn Rovers,have won the cup in three consecutive years, a feat that was also achieved by the now dissolvedWanderers.The cup has been won by the same team in two or more consecutive years on ten occasions, and four teams have won consecutive finals more than once:Wanderers,Blackburn Rovers,Tottenham Hotspurand Arsenal.[2]The cup has been won by a non-English team once:Cardiff Cityin1927.The current holders areManchester United,who defeatedlocal rivalsManchester Cityin the2024 final.

History

Tottenham HotspurcaptainArthur Grimsdelldisplays the cup to fans on the Tottenham High Road after Spurs' victory in the 1921 final, the first win by aLondon-based team since the same club's win 20 years earlier.

The winners ofthe first tournamentwereWanderers,a team of formerpublic schoolboysbased inLondon,who went on to win the competition five times in its first seven seasons. The early winners of the competition were all teams of wealthy amateurs from the south of England,[5]but in1883,Blackburn Olympicbecame the first team from the north to win the cup, defeatingOld Etonians.Upon his team's return toBlackburn,Olympic captainAlbert Warburtonproclaimed: "The Cup is very welcome toLancashire.It'll have a good home and it'll never go back to London ".[6]

With the advent ofprofessionalismat around the same time, the amateur teams quickly faded from prominence in the competition.[5]The leading professional clubs formedThe Football Leaguein 1888.[7]Since then, onenon-leagueteam has won the cup.Tottenham Hotspur,then of theSouthern League,defeatedSheffield Unitedof The Football League to win the1901 final.[8]A year later Sheffield United returned to the final and won the cup, which then remained in the hands ofNorthernandMidlandclubs until Tottenham won it again in1921.[2]In1927,Cardiff City,a team which plays in theEnglish football league systemdespite being based inWales,won the cup, the only non-English club to do so.[9]ScottishclubQueens Parkreached the final twice in the early years of the competition.[2]

The competition was not held during theFirstandSecondWorld Wars, except in the1914–15 season,when it was completed, and the1939–40 season,when it was abandoned during the qualifying rounds.[2]

Newcastle Unitedenjoyed a brief spell of FA Cup dominance in the 1950s, winning the trophy three times in five years,[2]and in the 1960s,Tottenham Hotspurenjoyed a similar spell of success, with three wins in seven seasons. This marked the start of a successful period for London-based clubs, with 11 wins in 22 seasons.[10]Teams from the second tier of English football, at the time called theSecond Division,experienced an unprecedented run of cup success between 1973 and 1980.[10]Sunderlandwon the cup in1973,Southamptonrepeated the feat in1976,andWest Ham Unitedwon in1980,the most recent victory by a team from outside the top division.[2][8]

Until 1999, a draw in the final would result in the match being replayed at a later date;[11]since then the final has always been decided on the day, with apenalty shoot-outas required.[12]As of 2022 a penalty shoot-out has been required on only three occasions, in the 2005, 2006 and 2022 finals.Arsenalhold the record for the highest number of FA Cup wins, having claimed the trophy 14 times, most recently in 2020.[13]
