Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers are the only teams to have won it 3 times in a row, making them the longest holders of the FA Cup. However, Portsmouth won the FA Cup in 1939, and with the FA Cup not being contested again until after the war (1947) they can also say they are the longest holders of the cup.
No team held it for 6 years. You may be referring to Portsmouth, who won the 1939 FA Cup Final, and as the next FA Cup Final was not until 1946 due to World War II, they could be said to have held it for 7 years.
It is Portsmouth, during the second World War there were no fa cups played so when pompey won the tounement before the War started out they held it throgh the War.
