The club has won a total of five major trophies, including the League Championship on 1 occasion, the Scottish Cup once & the Scottish League Cup three times. Dundee have also won the second tier of Scottish football five times & the Scottish Challenge Cup twice (including the inaugural tournament). The club has played in Europe on four occasions in four separate competitions the European Cup, the Uefa Cup, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup & the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Dundee reached the semi-finals of both the European Cup where they beaten by eventual winners AC Milan & Inner-Cities Fairs Cup were they again lost out to the winners Leeds United.

This list details the club's achievements in major competitions and the top scorers for each season where available. Top scorers in bold were also the top scorers in Dundee’s division that season. Records of competitions such as the Forfarshire Cup and the Penman Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the Scottish Cup, League Cup & Challenge Cup.
