The first ever FIFA world cup was held in Uruguay in 1930. Only 4 eurpoean teams took part, Belgium, France, Romania, and Yugoslavia. Uruguay won the final 4-2 against Argentina.
However, the very first world cup was the 'Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy'
The Trophy was initiated by businessman and sporting enthusiast Sir Thoma Lipton, who wished to see a competition between the leading football clubs of Europe. The European football associations duly complied, but the FA of England refused to nominate a club. West Auckland, a lowly amateur side of coalminers from the Northern League were entered into the competition, although it has never been entirely clear why.
A popular explanation in the town itself, is that Lipton had wanted to send Woolwich Arsenal to the Championship - an instruction to his secretary to "contact W.A." led to West Auckland being mistakenly contacted.
West Auckland duly made the journey to Turin, where the first tournament was being held, many of the players paying out of their own pocket to do so. They beat Stuttgart in the semi-finals 2-0. In the final West Auckland faced Swiss side FC Winterthur and beat them 2-0 as well to take the trophy.
Two years later, West Auckland returned, and after beating FC Zurich 2-0, they ran out 6-1 winners in the final over Italian giants and home team, Juventus.
By the rules of competition, they were awarded the trophy to keep. The dicouraged European teams decided not to play the competition again.
The trophy is on display in West Auckland Working Mens Club.
