The FA Cup, the oldest association football competition in the world, has a rich and fascinating history spanning over 140 years. Since its inception in 1872, the competition has been a cornerstone of English football, with the third round being one of the most highly anticipated stages of the tournament. As the third round approaches, we take a look at every winner of the FA Cup since its beginning.

The first FA Cup final was held on March 16, 1872, at the Kennington Oval in London, with Wanderers beating the Royal Engineers 1-0. The competition was initially dominated by amateur teams, with Wanderers winning five of the first seven FA Cups. However, as the sport grew in popularity, professional teams began to take over, and the competition became more competitive.

Early Years (1872-1915)

During the early years of the FA Cup, teams like Wanderers, Old Etonians, and Blackburn Rovers dominated the competition. However, as the sport grew, teams like Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Manchester United began to make their mark. The 1880s saw the rise of Blackburn Rovers, who won the competition three times during the decade.

The Interwar Period (1919-1939)

The interwar period saw a significant increase in the number of teams participating in the FA Cup. The 1920s and 1930s were dominated by teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, and Everton. The 1927 FA Cup final between Cardiff City and Arsenal was the first to be broadcast on radio, marking a significant milestone in the competition's history.

Post-War Era (1946-1992)

The post-war era saw a significant increase in competition, with teams like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur dominating the FA Cup. The 1960s and 1970s were particularly successful for Liverpool, who won the competition seven times during the period. The 1980s saw the rise of Manchester United, who won the competition five times during the decade.

Modern Era (1993-Present)

The modern era has seen a significant increase in competition, with teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City dominating the FA Cup. The 1990s and 2000s were particularly successful for Arsenal, who won the competition five times during the period. The 2010s saw the rise of Manchester City, who won the competition twice during the decade.
