List of HNK Hajduk Split seasons

Hrvatski nogometni klub Hajduk Split, an association football club based in Split, was founded in February 1911. For the first nine years of their existence, there was no league football, so matches were arranged on a friendly level, supplemented by cup competitions organised at local and national level except during the World War I. In 1920, Hajduk played in the first championship of Split football subassociation. From 1923, Hajduk participated in first club competition on a national level for clubs from Kingdom of Yugoslavia organized in various cup and league formats. They won two titles, in 1927 and 1929.

After World War II, Hajduk soon established themselves as one of the so-called "Big Four" of Yugoslav football (along with Dinamo Zagreb, Partizan and Red Star), a quartet of teams who dominated in SFR Yugoslavia, by winning three league titles (1950, 1952 and 1955) in first ten years. The following fifteen years were less successful and the only trophy that Hajduk won was their first Yugoslav Cup title in 1967. The final was played at their home stadium Stari plac; it was the only single legged final played outside Belgrade in the history of the cup. The club's most successful period was between 1970 and 1980, during which they won three league titles and five consecutive Yugoslav Cups, all of them but one cup under the guidance of manager Tomislav Ivić. The club also had successful campaigns in the European Cup during this period, reaching the quarter-finals twice, their best result in the club's history. They also reached the semi-finals of the 1972–73 European Cup Winners' Cup, being eliminated by Leeds United. Hajduk were never relegated from top level until leaving the league in 1991 following Croatia's independence. During the Yugoslav era Hajduk won seven league titles and nine Yugoslav Cups. In the Yugoslav era four Hajduk players were top league scorers on five occasions: Frane Matošić in 1949 (who is the best goalscorer in the history of the club), Bernard Vukas in 1955, Petar Nadoveza in 1966 and 1971, and Zlatko Vujović in 1985.

Following the 1990–91 Yugoslav First League, Croatian clubs abandoned the league amid the breakup of Yugoslavia and joined the present-day Croatian football league system as the country declared independence. Hajduk Split were thus founding members of the Prva HNL. In the first four years of the Prva HNL, Hajduk became far more successful than rivals from Zagreb, winning three league titles and two Croatian Cups, as well reaching the Champions League quarter-finals. In the following twenty years Hajduk stood in the shadow of Dinamo Zagreb, winning only three league and four cup titles.
