College, semi-professional and amateur leagues
This section lists college and amateur leagues by total attendance. Most remaining amateurism requirements in top level sport were dropped in the late 20th century, and there are now few if any amateur leagues which are of interest to a wide public outside of the United States, where college sports are very popular and at least one significant ice hockey league retains an amateur requirement.
The NCAA championships listed here are all composed of several separate conferences with varying attendance levels. For example, in American football, 2007 per-game home attendances for the highest level of competition, Division I FBS, ranged from 16,374 for Sun Belt Conference teams to 75,139 for Southeastern Conference teams.[1]

- 1 Current cometition
- 2 Group stage only
- 3 This includes all stages except for the Euroleague Final Four. ULEB, the organiser of the Euroleague, does not sell individual match tickets for the Final Four. Each ticket package sold for that event admits the holder to both semifinal games, the third-place game, and the final.
Competitions between national teams
- This section lists attendances at competitions between national representative teams sorted by average attendance. Please help Wikipedia by adding more competitions.
- 1The Ashes is Test cricket, which, unlike all other sports listed here (including the Cricket World Cup), is contested over more than one day (a maximum of 5 days for each match). Therefore it should be noted that these average attendance figures are not indicative of a single day's attendance. The five matches of the 2006-07 Ashes were contested over a total of 22 days, therefore the average attendance for a single day would be 36,969.
- 2Although 32 games were played in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, tickets were sold only for 21 matchdays. The final schedule, which was affected slightly by Typhoon Wipha, saw 22 matches scheduled as doubleheaders—16 during pool play, all four quarterfinals, and the third-place game and final in a single session. However, FIFA took attendance separately for each individual match, and the calculation here reflects this practice.
- 3World Baseball Classic and World Cup of Hockey are hosted in different regions of the world to boost attendance; as opposed to being hosted in one region like other international tournaments.
