The following table shows the overall statistics of all 21 world cups, combining the results of both the Beach Soccer World Cup era and the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup era.

Notes:
 * FIFA issued changes to the rules of beach soccer in July 2014 meaning teams now earn 1 point for a penalty shootout win; teams were awarded 2 points for a shootout win prior to July 2014. For the purpose of this table, the calculation of points earned goes by the current rules meaning that penalty shootout wins that occurred both after and before the 2014 rule change have been counted as just 1 point in the "Pts" column.
