===Association football=== Trophies in the sport include: [[File:River Plate campeón de América 1986 (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|[[Norberto Alonso]] with the [[Copa Libertadores (trophy)|Copa Libertadores Trophy]]. The trophy awarded to the champions of [[Copa Libertadores]]]] *[[Copa Libertadores (trophy)|Copa Libertadores Trophy]] — Known simply as ''Libertadores'' or ''Copa'', awarded to the winners of the [[Copa Libertadores]] since 1960. It is one of the most prestigious laurels in the [[Western Hemisphere]]. *The [[FA Cup]] — Awarded to winners of the primary English domestic football knockout tournament, officially ''The Football Association Challenge Cup'', often referred to as just the ''FA Cup''. The FA Cup was inaugurated in 1871 and is therefore the oldest tournament in club football. The original trophy, however, was stolen in 1895 and the current trophy design, which was first awarded in 1911, is actually the fifth incarnation in total. * The [[Women's FA Cup]] – Awarded to winners of the primary English women's domestic football knockout tournament. Inaugurated in 1971, it was one of the first prestigious trophies to be made by the [[Thomas Lyte]] silver workshop. * [[FIFA World Cup Trophy]] — Awarded to the winners of the [[FIFA World Cup]] from the [[1974 FIFA World Cup]] onwards. Previous winners were awarded the [[Jules Rimet Trophy]] (known simply as ''Victory'' until 1949), which was awarded in perpetuity to Brazil after their 3rd win in the [[1970 FIFA World Cup]]. Both are referred to colloquially as ''the World Cup'' * [[FIFA Women's World Cup]] Winner's Trophy – Awarded to the winners of the FIFA Women's World Cup from the [[1999 FIFA Women's World Cup]] onwards. Unlike the men's World Cup trophy, the women's trophy is constructed anew for each champion to keep. [[UEFA European Championship | Henri Delaunay Trophy]] - Awarded to the winners of the [[UEFA European Championship]] from the [[1960 European Nations' Cup]] onwards. The original trophy design was used till [[UEFA Euro 2004]]. From [[UEFA Euro 2008]] onwards, the trophy design was changed to make it bigger and heavier than the original as the old trophy was overshadowed by UEFA's other trophies namely the [[European Champion Clubs' Cup]]. *[[European Champion Clubs' Cup]] – colloquially ''the European Cup'', awarded to the winners of the European Cup (before 1992–93) and the [[UEFA Champions League]] (since 1992–93). It is the most prestigious trophy in the [[Eastern Hemisphere]]. It is affectionately known as "old big ears" due to its shape. *[[Philip F. Anschutz Trophy]] – Awarded to the winners of the [[MLS Cup]], the MLS' championship game *[[UEFA Super Cup]] — Awarded to the winners of a one-off match between the winners of the [[Uefa Champions League|UEFA Champions League]] and the [[UEFA Europa League]]. *The [[Scottish Cup]] — Awarded to the winners of the primary domestic knockout cup tournament of Scotland (the ''Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup'', or just ''Scottish Cup''). The tournament was founded in 1873 and still presents the original trophy. The Scottish Cup is therefore the world's oldest national football trophy and second oldest national trophy, behind the Carlisle Bells race trophy dating back to 1599. [[File:Ajax-speler_Barry_Hulshoff_met_de_cup,_Bestanddeelnr_925-6412_(cropped).jpg|thumb|right|The [[European Champion Clubs' Cup]] held here by [[Johan Cruyff]] in 1972, is awarded to the winners of the [[UEFA Champions League]]]] Other notable trophies in the sport includes the [[Jules Rimet Trophy]]. The original was stolen in Brazil in 1983 and has never been recovered. Replicas were awarded to winning nations up to the retirement of the genuine trophy. However, prior to the 1966 final, [[The Football Association]] made an (unauthorised) replica in secret in gilded bronze for use in post-match celebrations due to security concerns – the genuine trophy was made out of close to 2 kg of pure gold. This has led to several conspiracy theories regarding which trophy was stolen – the FA replica, or the real trophy. FIFA purchased the replica for £254,500 (ten times the reserve price) in 1997, with the inflated price attributed to such rumours.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/87e8256e-cbcc-11da-a7bf-0000779e2340.html|newspaper=Financial Times|first=Simon|last=Kuper|date=2006-04-14|title=Solid gold mystery awaits the final whistle|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090306014341/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/87e8256e-cbcc-11da-a7bf-0000779e2340.html|archivedate=2009-03-06}}</ref> This trophy is held on behalf of FIFA by the [[National Football Museum]] in [[Preston, Lancashire|Preston]]. The current FIFA World Cup trophy inscribe the names of the teams that won the award underneath the base of the trophy. A club that manages to win the Copa Libertadores trophy three consecutive times retain the trophy permanently. The current trophy has been used since 1975. Like the FIFA World Cup trophy, the winners of each edition of the tournament has their name inscribed on the trophy; unlike the FIFA World Cup trophy, a pedestal contains a list of winners in the form of badges. The current pedestal is the fourth in the trophy's history, having been used since 2009. The original trophy was awarded to [[Estudiantes de La Plata]] in 1970 (after their third win) – the present trophy is the third, identical edition.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://espanol.sports.yahoo.com/noticias/d-sport-sabias-trofeo-copa-libertadores-hizo-03052010-79.html|title=¿Sabías que el trofeo de la Copa Libertadores se hizo en el Perú?|first=Fernando|last=Lozano|date=2010-05-03|newspaper=ElComercio.com.pe|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110111133021/http://espanol.sports.yahoo.com/noticias/d-sport-sabias-trofeo-copa-libertadores-hizo-03052010-79.html|archivedate=2011-01-11}}</ref> Until 2009, clubs that win the [[European Champion Clubs' Cup]] three times in successive seasons, or five times in total, were permitted to retain the trophy in perpetuity. The present trophy has been used since 2005–06 after [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]]'s fifth win in 2005. The original trophy was awarded to [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] in 1966 (after their sixth win) — the present trophy is the sixth incarnation overall. Four trophies have served as an award (out of five made) for the winner of the FA Cup. The first (1871–1895) was stolen in [[Birmingham]] and melted down, the second (1896–1910) was presented to [[Lord Kinnaird]] and is held by [[David Gold (businessman)|David Gold]], the chairman of [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] after private auction in 2005. The third (1910–1992) was retired after the 1992 final due to fragility and is held by [[The Football Association]]; two exact replicas of it were made, one of which has been awarded to the winners (1993–2013), the other remains as a backup in case of damage to the primary trophy. The same design was recast and was unveiled in 2014 to be more durable.
