Who has won the FA Cup the most?

The upsets, the tin foil trophies, the trips to Wembley; there is nothing like the FA Cup.

Whether your colours are those of a top Premier League club or non-league minnows, every fan loves it and every fan wants their team to advance as far as they possibly can.

Some have been more fortunate than others in that regard. While some supporters have become pretty accustomed to seeing their heroes walk those stairs and hold that famous silver trophy aloft, others can still only dream.

But what teams have enjoyed the most success in the competition? Well, 90min details all you need to know.

Which team has won the most FA Cups?

The most successful team in the history of the FA Cup is Arsenal who, in their 21 appearances in finals, have been victorious a whopping 14 times.

The Gunners' first triumph came all the way back in 1930 and, until 1998, had only won six titles. Since then - and the introduction of Arsene Wenger to English football - Arsenal have managed a further eight FA Cup victories, winning the competition most recently in 2020 when they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the final.

Manchester United are the closest challengers to Arsenal with only two FA Cups behind Mikel Arteta's side, while Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham have all won the famous trophy eight times and will need a period of dominance to reel Arsenal in.

Which player has won the most FA Cups?

Given the success that Arsenal and Chelsea have experienced in the FA Cup in recent times, it will come as little surprise that Ashley Cole has taken home the most winner's medals in history.

The former left-back boasts seven FA Cup triumphs to his name across his spells with the Gunners and the Blues, two more than any other player. Ahead of his record-equalling fifth triumph in 2009, Cole gushed: "The FA Cup will always be ­special to me. I've had so many great occasions, the build-up and the atmosphere is brilliant and being English, it's one of the best trophies you can win."

Petr Cech, John Terry and Patrick Vieira all boast five titles, while a whole host of other players have won the competition four times.

Which team has won the most Women's FA Cups?

Quite incredibly, Arsenal Women have also won the FA Cup 14 times, six titles more than second-placed Southampton - which were all won within the first 11 editions of the Women's FA Cup.

The Gunners' record becomes all the more impressive when taking into account that the Women's FA Cup was only founded back in 1970. However, that was still one year before the English FA lifted the draconian ban on women's football which had first been imposed in 1921.

Which player has won the most Women's FA Cups?

Katie Chapman began piling up her record-breaking tally of ten FA Cup trophies when she was just 14 years old. While her twin sister Sophie watched on from the bench, Katie lined up for Millwall Lionesses against Wembley, now known as London Bees, at Upton Park in 1997.

More than two decades later, Chapman was still winning domestic trophies. After hoisting aloft the famous cup at Fulham, Charlton and Arsenal, Chapman ended a riotously successful career at Chelsea. "It doesn't get any better than winning the FA Cup," Chapman beamed after taking her tally into double digits in 2018. "I've got ten and every single one is special and has a special moment."

Chapman's manager at Chelsea Emma Hayes joked that her tireless midfielder boasted a trophy haul fit for "a greedy little cow".
