The team started off by competing in the Southern League and Western League before joining the Football League in 1919.

West Ham have won 3 FA Cups (in 1964, 1975, and 1980), and have also been runners-up twice (in 1923 and 2006). The club have reached two major European finals, winning the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1965 and finishing runners-up in the same competition in 1976. West Ham also won the Intertoto Cup in 1999. They are one of eight clubs never to have fallen below the second tier of English football, spending 60 of 92 league seasons in the top flight, up to and including the 2017–18 season. The club’s highest league position to date came in 1985–86, when they achieved third place in the then First Division.
