Founded in 1882, Tottenham won the
FA Cup for the first time in
1901, the only
non-League club to do so since the formation of
the Football League in 1888. Tottenham were the first club in the 20th century to achieve the
League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the
1960–61 season. After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 they became the first British club to win a
UEFA club competition – the
European Cup Winners' Cup.
[4] They were also the inaugural winners of the
UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies. They have collected at least one major trophy in each of the six decades from the 1950s to 2000s – an achievement only matched by
Manchester United.
[5][6] In total, Spurs have won two
league titles, eight FA Cups, four
League Cups, seven
FA Community Shields, one
European Cup Winners' Cup and two
UEFA Cups. Tottenham were also the runners-up of the
2018–19 UEFA Champions League competition. The club has a long-standing rivalry with nearby club
Arsenal, with head-to-head fixtures known as the
North London derby.
