Futebol Clube do Porto is a Portuguese sports club based in Porto, which is best known for the professional association football team that plays in the country's top-tier league, the Primeira Liga. The club was founded on 1893 but the football team only played its first competitive match in 1911, when it took part and won the first José Monteiro da Costa Cup. Two years later, Porto began competing in the Campeonato do Porto, a regional championship that was held every season until its discontinuation in 1947. As regional champions in 1921–22, Porto qualified for the inaugural season of the Campeonato de Portugal, the first national football championship, which they won after beating Lisbon rivals Sporting CP.

In 1938–39, the Campeonato de Portugal was superseded by the Primeira Liga, the highest level of a two-tier league competition that had been contested since 1934–35. Porto is one of three clubs that have never been relegated from the Primeira Liga, and have taken part in every edition since its establishment. Between 1940 and 1978, the club endured the darkest period of its history, during which it won only two league titles. Since president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa took office in 1982, Porto have experienced consistent success, winning the league title 20 times in 32 seasons – five of them successively (1994–95 to 1998–99), a record in Portuguese football. Internationally, they won their first silverware in 1987, after beating Bayern Munich in the European Cup final, and have since collected a further six continental and intercontinental trophies.

As of the end of 2014–15 season, Porto have played 105 competitive seasons, 81 of which consecutively in the top flight of the Portuguese football league system. The 2010–11 season was the club's most successful, as the team won four titles, including the league, in which they were unbeaten for the first time. In contrast, the worst season was in 1969–70, when they did not win any competition and ended the league in ninth place out of 14 teams. Porto achieved the league and cup double seven times, and in three of them added at least one international trophy. Mário Jardel was Porto's most prolific goalscorer in a single season, with a total of 56 goals in 1999–2000, which included a Bola de Prata-winning 38 league goals. Overall, Fernando Gomes was the club's top scorer in 11 seasons, six of which consecutively from 1982–83 to 1987–88. In the 1984–85 season, Gomes scored a club record 39 league goals, for which he received his second European Golden Shoe.

History
Futebol Clube do Porto, a Portuguese sports club based in Porto, was founded in 1893. Its association football team played its first competitive matches in 1911, when it took part and won the first edition of the José Monteiro da Costa Cup. Two years later, the club began competing in the Campeonato do Porto, a regional championship organised by the district football association. In 1921–22, Porto won the inaugural Campeonato de Portugal, a nationwide competition to determine the Portuguese champion among the winners of the regional championships.

The Primeira Liga was established in 1934–35 as an experimental nationwide competition played in a league format, and was contested in parallel with the Campeonato de Portugal. Porto were its first winners and repeated the triumph in 1938–39, when it became the official top-tier championship in place of the Campeonato de Portugal, which was converted into the Taça de Portugal. Porto is one of three clubs, together with Benfica and Sporting CP, to have never been relegated from the Primeira Liga since its establishment. Between 1940 and 1978, Porto endured the darkest period of its league history, during which they collected only two titles (1955–56 and 1958–59), and recorded an all-time low ninth place (1969–70). Since incumbent president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa took office in 1982, Porto have experienced routine league success, winning the competition 20 times in 32 seasons – five of them in succession (1995–1999), a record in Portuguese football. They achieved their first league and cup double in 1956, and have repeated it six more times (1988, 1998, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2011).

Porto's debut in international competitions took place in 1956–57, when they competed in the second edition of the European Cup. They reached their first European final in 1984, losing the Cup Winners' Cup to Juventus, and won their first European silverware three years later, beating Bayern Munich in the 1987 European Cup Final. The following season, Porto collected the European Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup trophies. In 2003, they won the UEFA Cup for the first time, becoming the only Portuguese team to have won any of these three international trophies.

As of the end of 2014–15, Porto have won 74 major honours, which include 27 Primeira Liga titles and victories in the Taça de Portugal (16 times), the Campeonato de Portugal (four times), the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira (a record 20 times), the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (twice), the UEFA Cup/Europa League (twice), the UEFA Super Cup (once), and the Intercontinental Cup (twice). Porto have played a total of 3,169 matches in 11 domestic and international competitions, registering 2,023 wins, 568 draws, and 578 losses.
