UEFA Cup and Europa League records and statistics
This page details statistics of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League. Unless notified these statistics concern all seasons since inception of the UEFA Cup in the 1971–72 season, including qualifying rounds. The UEFA Cup replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in the 1971–72 season, so the Fairs Cup is not considered a UEFA competition, and hence clubs' records in the Fairs Cup are not considered part of their European record.

Undefeated champions
- The only teams in UEFA Cup history to win the tournament undefeated are Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Mönchengladbach, IFK Göteborg, Ajax, Galatasaray, Feyenoord, and Chelsea.
- Benfica and Espanyol were undefeated in the competition, despite losing the final on penalties.
Consecutive wins
- Atlético Madrid hold the record of most consecutive wins with 15 spanning the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons.
Miscellaneous records
- Only four clubs have won the treble of their national league championship, domestic cup competition and the UEFA Cup all in same season. They are:
- * Porto
- * IFK Göteborg
- * Galatasaray
- * CSKA Moscow
- 12 clubs have won their national league championship and the UEFA Cup in the same season. They are:
- * Liverpool
- * IFK Göteborg
- * Porto
- * Feyenoord
- * Borussia Mönchengladbach
- * Juventus
- * PSV Eindhoven
- * Real Madrid
- * Galatasaray
- * Valencia
- * CSKA Moscow
- * Zenit Saint Petersburg
- Until 1997, the UEFA Cup was the only European club competition which routinely allocated multiple entrants to many countries. This has led to several finals featuring two clubs from the same country:
- During the 1979–80 season, West Germany had five entrants including cup holders Borussia Mönchengladbach. All five managed to reach the quarter-final stage and both semi-finals ended up being all West German affairs. Ultimately, Eintracht Frankfurt defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach in the final. No West German club that season was eliminated by a non-German club.
- During the 1997–98 season, France had seven entrants: Strasbourg as winner of French Coupe de la Ligue, Nantes as third-placed team from French Division 1, FC Girondins de Bordeaux as fourth-placed team from French Division 1, Metz as fifth-placed team from French Division 1, and also Auxerre, Bastia and Lyon as 1997 UEFA Intertoto Cup Group winners. Nevertheless, only one, Auxerre, reach the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by Lazio.
- Two clubs have managed to win consecutive UEFA Cups/Europa League: Real Madrid in 1985 and 1986, and Sevilla in 2006 and 2007 and then again in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
- The only countries to have won for three consecutive seasons are Italy and Spain. Italy: between 1988–89 and 1990–91 and between 1992–93 and 1994–95. Spain: 2014, 2015 and 2016
- Entering both the Champions League and/or its qualifying rounds and the UEFA Cup in the same season has now become so common that a separate statistic of all clubs having done so in three or more consecutive seasons may be of interest :

- Several times, winning the UEFA Cup was a club's only chance to qualify for European competition in the next season. A win by such a mid-table club then led to an extra place in the UEFA Cup for the country in question. The following clubs managed to save their season by winning the UEFA Cup:
Season | Club | Country | Domestic position |
1971–72 | Tottenham Hotspur | England | 6th |
1978–79 | Borussia Mönchengladbach | West Germany | 10th |
1979–80 | Eintracht Frankfurt | West Germany | 9th |
1983–84 | Tottenham Hotspur | England | 8th |
1987–88 | Bayer Leverkusen | West Germany | 8th |
1993–94 | Internazionale | Italy | 13th |
1996–97 | Schalke 04 | Germany | 12th |
