The FA Cup Final is the last match in the FA Cup, the oldest football tournament in the world. It is the culmination of a knockout competition among clubs belonging to The Football Association in England.
Early FA Cup Finals were held at various venues, mainly in London. Since 1923 the final has been held at Wembley Stadium, English football's national stadium. In the period from 2001-2005, the final was moved to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, during the rebuilding of Wembley Stadium. Millennium Stadium was used again in 2006 due to construction delays in opening the new Wembley Stadium.
Until 1993, if the final could not be decided in a single match, the match would be replayed. The FA decided that all future finals should be decided 'on the day', putting an end to FA Cup Final replays.
Teams highlighted in bold won both The Football League (up to 1992) or the FA Premier League (since 1992) and the FA Cup in that season; this is known as The Double in English football. Teams from outside the top level of English football are in italics.
