The Double, in association football, is the achievement of winning a country's top tier division and its primary domestic cup competition in the same season. The lists in this article examine this definition of a double, while derivative sections examine much less frequent, continental instances. The Double can also mean beating a team both home and away in the same league season, a feat often noted as doing the double over a particular opponent.

The first club to achieve a double was Preston North End in 1889, winning the FA Cup and The Football League in the inaugural season of the league.

The team that holds the record for the most doubles is Linfield of Northern Ireland, with a total of 25.

South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago are the two countries with the most Double-winning clubs, with 13 clubs each.

Germany

Inter-war period A national cup competition was introduced in Germany in 1935, and was known as the Tschammer-Pokal for the country's then minister of sport. Between 1935 and the suspension of cup play in 1944 because of World War II, the Double was won only once.

ClubNumberSeasonsSchalke 0411937

Bundesliga era Play for what had become the DFB-Pokal was resumed following the war in 1953, and up until well after the formation of the Bundesliga in 1963, no club was able to complete the double. A new cup trophy was introduced as it was felt the previous one was associated with the Nazi period.

In the modern-day Bundesliga era, the double has been won by only five clubs. Bayern Munich holds the record, with 14.

East Germany (defunct) Following World War II, a separate football competition emerged in the Soviet-occupied eastern area of Germany. The first division DDR-Oberliga was active from 1947–48 to 1990–91 and saw the introduction of the FDGB-Pokal in 1949. The cup competition was not staged in the 1950–51 season and the transitional 1955 and 1961 seasons. Five doubles were won in East German competition:
