List of CR Vasco da Gama seasons

Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama is a Brazilian professional football club based in Rio de Janeiro. Founded on 21 August 1898 as a rowing club by Portuguese immigrants, the institution expanded its sporting departments and officially began competing in football in 1915. Vasco became one of Brazil's most influential clubs, particularly noted for its historic stance against racial and social discrimination during the 1920s, when the club challenged exclusionary practices in Rio de Janeiro football. The club plays its home matches at São Januário, inaugurated in 1927, which remains one of Brazil's most traditional football stadiums. Vasco won the Campeonato Carioca for the first time in 1923 with the legendary Camisas Negras squad. Since then, the club has secured numerous state titles and emerged as a major national power. Vasco claimed the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A four times (1974, 1989, 1997, and 2000), won the Copa do Brasil in 2011, and earned several national and regional honours. Internationally, the club achieved the first continental tournament in football history, the South American Championship of Champions in 1948 (its 50th anniversary), the Copa Libertadores in 1998 (its 100th anniversary), and later captured the Copa Mercosur in 2000 in a dramatic final.

At the end of the 2025 season, the team completed 50 seasons in the first division of the Brazilian football league system and five in the second. The table details the team's achievements from its debut in the third division of the Campeonato Carioca in the 1916 season until the end of the most recent season.
