This article is about the current tournament involving the champion clubs of all continents. For the trophy called the World Club Championship from 1960-2004, see Intercontinental Cup.

The FIFA Club World Cup (formerly the FIFA Club World Championship) is a football competition contested between the leading clubs from all 6 continental confederations.

The first competition took place in Brazil in January 2000. It was intended by FIFA to be a replacement for the Intercontinental Cup (also known as the Toyota Cup), which was contested annually in Tokyo, Japan by the champions of Europe and South America.

The new tournament was not universally popular, but nevertheless a second edition was penciled in for Spain in 2001, to feature 12 teams. This was cancelled owing to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner ISL. It was then intended to hold the event in 2003, but this also failed to happen. FIFA eventually agreed terms with the Toyota Cup to merge the two competitions, with the first installment of the relaunched Club World Championship held in Japan between December 11 and December 18 2005.
