List of Hapoel Petah Tikva F.C. seasons

This is a list of seasons played by Hapoel Petah Tikva Football Club in Israeli and European football, from 1934 (when the club was established) to the most recent completed season. It details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the top scorers for each season, if available. Top scorers in bold were also the top scorers in the Israeli league that season. Records of minor competitions such as the Lilian Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the State Cup and the Toto Cup.

The club has won the six Israeli championships, two State Cups and four Toto cups, as well as several other minor trophies.

History

edit

Hapoel Petah Tikva Football Club was established in 1934 and joined the EIFA and competed in its competitions ever since. The club played in Palestine League during the abandoned 1934–35 league season and rejoined the league at its lowest level, third division, during the 1937–38 season. The club was promoted to the top division ahead of the 1941–42 season and remained at this level until being relegated at the end of the 1975–76 season, winning six championships between 1955 and 1963. The club was among the first to represent Israel in UEFA competitions by qualifying to the 1992–93 European Cup Winners' Cup.
