List of association football teams to have won four or more trophies in one season

In a football season, clubs typically compete in a number of different competitions: usually a domestic league and at least one cup competition, as well as sometimes competing in continental football, that is, the tournaments organised by one of FIFA's six confederations. Winning multiple competitions is seen as a particularly momentous achievement.[1][2]

Doubles and trebles are usually long-remembered achievements, but do occur with some level of frequency.[3] By contrast, winning four or more trophies in one season is exceptionally rare. In recent years, the terms quadruple, quintuple and sextuple have come to be occasionally used to refer to winning four, five or six top-tier trophies in a single season.[2][4][5][6][7][8]

The list below considers only teams whose victories include trophies in the top tier of their league system.

Four titles in one season
