Soccer: European Cup Winners' Cup, Summary and Data

Information about the European Cup Winners' 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 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was a soccer club competition between the winners of the European domestic cup competitions. The cup is one of the many inter-European club competitions that have been run by the UEFA. The first competition was held in the 1960/61 season, and the last in 1998/99. The competition was then merged into the UEFA Cup.

During its existence, the cup was regarded as the second most important European club competition out of three; behind the UEFA Champions League and ahead of the UEFA Cup. The winner of the tournament would go on to play the winner of the European Cup (later the UEFA Champions league) in the European Super Cup. The Cup Winners' Cup was eventually scrapped mainly due to the enlargements of the UEFA Champions League in the late 1990s.

No club managed to retain the Cup Winners' Cup, although FC Barcelona won it on four occasions and finished runners up twice (1969, 1991). R.S.C. Anderlecht won it twice, and finished runners up twice (1977, 1990); in addition, four finals over five years between 1993 and 1997 saw the holder reach the final only to lose (Parma 1993 and 1994, Arsenal F.C. 1994 and 1995, Paris Saint Germain 1996 - 1997).
