Liverpool's team during its first season, 1892–1893

This is a list of seasons played by Liverpool F.C. in English and European association football, from 1892 to the most recent completed season. It details Liverpool's achievements in major competitions, together with the top scorers and the average attendances for each season. Details of the abandoned 1939–40 season and unofficial Second World War leagues are not included.

The club has won the League Championship eighteen times, the FA Cup and League Cup seven times, the Community Shield fifteen times (including five shared), the European Cup five times, and the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup three times.[1]

History

Liverpool F.C. were formed in 1892, following a rent dispute between the leaseholder of Anfield, John Houlding, and Everton Football Club, which left Houlding with a ground but no club playing in it. In their first season Liverpool won the Lancashire League, and were elected to the Football League Second Division for the 1893–94 season,[2] going on to win the title without losing a match.[3] Their first season in the First Division ended in relegation, before they were promoted back the following season. Liverpool won the First Division for the first time in the 1900–01 season,[1] and reached their first FA Cup Final in 1914, losing 1–0 to Burnley. They won their first back-to-back titles in the 1921–22 and 1922–23 seasons; this was their last success until the 1946–47 season, when they regained the league title. Relegated in the 1953–54 season, they did not regain their place in the First Division until the 1962–63 season under the management of Bill Shankly.[4]

Liverpool first participated in European competition during the 1964–65 season, a season which represented Liverpool's first FA Cup triumph.[5] They won their first European trophy, the UEFA Cup, during the 1972–73 season.[6] The club won the European Cup during the 1976–77 season and retained the trophy the following year. Liverpool won a unique treble of the League, the European Cup and League Cup during the 1983–84 season.[7] They won their first double of league championship and FA Cup in 1986, and during the 2000–01 season they won another treble, this one consisting of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup.[7]
