Historical table of the FIFA Club World Cup

The FIFA Club World Cup is an international association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body.[1] The championship was first contested as the FIFA Club World Championship in 2000.[2] It was not held between 2001 and 2004 due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure.[3] Following a change in format which saw the FIFA Club World Championship absorb the Intercontinental Cup, it was relaunched in 2005 and took its current name the season afterwards.[4]

The current format of the tournament, in use since the competition was revamped ahead of the 2025 edition, features 32 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation; 12 teams from Europe, 6 from South America, 4 from Asia, 4 from Africa, 4 from North, Central America and Caribbean, 1 from Oceania, and 1 team from the host nation. The teams are drawn into eight groups of four, with each team playing three group stage matches in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage, starting with the round of 16 and culminating with the final.[1]

Spanish club Real Madrid leads the table in most titles, most wins and most points. Auckland City have the most tournament appearances with twelve, while Al Ahly have played the most matches (25), also holding the dubious record of the most losses with a total of fourteen. There are five teams which have won all of their games in the competition on the quest to their respective title or titles, those being Internazionale, Manchester City, Milan, São Paulo (two wins each) and Bayern Munich (four wins).
