Comprehensive team results by tournament

[edit]

The team ranking in each tournament is according to FIFA.[8][9][10] The rankings, apart from the top four positions (top two in 1930), are not a result of direct competition between the teams; instead, teams eliminated in the same round are ranked by their full results in the tournament.

For each tournament, the number of teams in each finals tournament are shown (in parentheses).
