Durand Cup Winners List: Full List of Champions and Runners Up of Post-Independence Era From 1950 to 2023

The Durand Cup, the oldest existing football tournament in Asia and the third oldest in the world, is a domestic football competition held every year in India. Three trophies are awarded to the winner as follows: the President's Cup, the Shimla Cup and the Durand Cup.

The Durand Cup was founded in 1888 by Sir Henry Mortimer Durand and was held in Shimla. The tournament mainly featured British Armed Forces, British Indian Army and other armed units in the early years.

Mohun Bagan, the record winners of Durand Cup

The Durand Cup, also known as Durand Football Tournament, was held every year since the 1888 except for 1914-1919 due to world war 1, 1939 due to world war 2, 1941-1947 due to the world war 2 and partition of India.

The Durand Cup resumed in 1950 and has been held every year since then except for 2020 when the tournament was postponed due to COVID 19 pandemic, but resumed in 2021.

The winning team is presented with three trophies - Durand Cup (the original tournament trophy), Shimla Trophy (donated by the residents of Shimla) and President's Cup (rewarded from post-independence era).

The first ever edition in 1888 was won by Royal Scots Fuseliers, but it was later champions Highland Infantry and Blackwatch that went on to become the most successful teams in the pre-independence era from 1888 to 1947.

Since the post-independence era from 1950, the two Kolkata rivals Mohun Bagan and East Bengal have gone on to become the most successful teams in the tournament. Mohun Bagan has won the Durand Cup a record 17 times followed by East Bengal, who has won the Durand Cup 16 times.

Also, in the 71 editions held since 1950, the trophy has been shared between two finalists three times. In 1982 and 1960, Bagan and East Bengal had to share the trophy after the finals ended in draw, while JCT and Border Security Force shared the trophy in 1976.
