UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Titles by Country

About This Dataset

This chart ranks countries by titles won in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the competition for domestic cup winners that ran from 1961 until it was abolished in 1999.

✨ AI Insight

England lead with eight titles, ahead of Spain and Italy on seven each, and these three nations account for 22 of the 39 editions. The competition was unusually open compared with the European Cup: Belgium's three titles and Scotland's two are stronger showings than either nation managed in Europe's premier tournament, a consequence of entry being restricted to domestic cup winners rather than league champions. The Soviet Union's three titles make this their most successful European competition by some margin. East Germany's single title, won by Magdeburg in 1974, is the only European trophy the country ever claimed, and it survives here as a record of a nation that no longer exists.
