The world cup from the year 1970 onwards is a rotating trophy.
The Jules Rimet Trophy, which was the original World Cup Trophy, which had been used since 1930 was stolen in March 1966 from an exhibition in London. It was found a week later. When Brazil won their third World Cup in 1970, they were awarded the trophy to keep. And in 1983 it was stolen in Brazil and never recovered. The current trophy is called the World Cup Trophy and has been used since 1974.
No. They get a gold plated replica, FIFA keeps the original.

The Jules Rimet Cup was the original trophy awarded to the winner of the World Cup. Jules Rimet was a former president of FIFA and was instrumental in organizing the World Cup competition in 1928. It was first presented in 1930 to Uruguay, who won that year's World Cup competition. Rimet stated that whoever won the World Cup three times would keep the trophy. In 1970, Brazil won the World Cup and was awarded the Rimet Cup to keep forever. Unfortunately, the Jules Rimet Cup was stolen in 1983 and never recovered.
