Information about the Club World Cup with the last 10 winners of the competition, the teams with the most trophies won in the history of the tournment and an index to every final played.

The FIFA Club World Cup (formerly the FIFA Club World Championship) is a soccer competition contested between the leading clubs from all 6 continental confederations. The new name will be used for the first time in the 2006 edition.

The competition is a knockout tournament so each team plays two or three matches. The champions of the 4 "weaker" confederations play in the quarter-finals; the losers play in a fifth/sixth place match. The winners are then join by the European and South American champions in the semi-finals; the losers play in a third/fourth place match.

The tournament was not universally popular, but nevertheless a second edition was pencilled in for Spain in 2001, to feature 12 teams. This was cancelled owing to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner ISL. It was then intended to hold the event in 2003, but this also failed to happen. FIFA eventually agreed terms with the Toyota Cup to merge the two competitions, with the first installment of the relaunched Club World Championship held in Japan between December 11 and December 18, 2005 with Brazilian team Sao Paulo winning the competition 1-0 over Liverpool.

The first competition took place in Brazil in January 2000. It was intended by FIFA to be a replacement for the Intercontinental Cup (also known as the Toyota Cup), which was contested annually in Tokyo, Japan by the champions of Europe and South America.
