Stanley Cup winners by year

Cup winners since 1915 with the beaten finalist, PCHA and WCHL challengers included. The 1919 final was abandoned for the flu pandemic and 2005 was lost to the lockout, so neither year appears.

110 years listed, 1915 to 2026.

Earliest year listed: Vancouver Millionaires (1915).

Latest year listed: Carolina Hurricanes (2026).

30 different team names appear on the list, 1915 to 2026.

Most Stanley Cup wins since 1915

How we counted: each line in the year by year tables counts for the team name exactly as the table writes it, so a team the table writes two ways counts separately under each. The table does not always use the name of the day, so a renamed team may sit under one name or several. Nothing is listed for 1919 and 2005, so no Cup is counted for those years.

Out in front: Montreal Canadiens, 24 Cups.

How the NHL playoffs work

NHL playoff format history: the playoff bracket through the years, including seasons that broke the pattern.

Where this comes from

Each table was verified against at least two independent sources, and the checks run on every build: winner lists are audited answer by answer, split titles and vacated seasons are pinned so they can never quietly change, and a blank cell means the detail was never verified rather than papered over.
