Swedish champions until 1931 and between 1982 and 1992 when the title was given to the winner of other cup tournaments that were organized at the end of the league season. The number of doubles for
IFK Göteborg and
Malmö FF are affected by this. IFK Göteborg won the Swedish Championship together with Svenska Cupen in one additional season to the table below, they won the two titles in 1983, a year when they did not win Allsvenskan. Additionally while Malmö won Allsvenskan in 1989, they were not Swedish Championships for that season as they did not win the play-off following the ordinary league play. All other teams in the table below won the Swedish Championship in their double-winning seasons. The latest club to win a double is
Malmö FF who completed the feat in 2024. In 1982, IFK Göteborg also managed to combine its double with winning the UEFA Cup.

The following is a list of doubles in the United States in the MLS era:
Women
There is no currently sanctioned National Cup in the United States for women, so the only way to achieve the double in the United States is through a league double (winning the Shield or its equivalent for the best regular-season record, and the league championship).
The Women's United Soccer Association did not have formal recognition of the team with the best regular season record, but during the 2002 WUSA season, the Carolina Courage had the best regular season record and won the WUSA Founders Cup, Founders Cup, the WUSA Championship Trophy.
Women's Professional Soccer, which operated from 2009 to 2011, had one club win both the regular season championship and the WPS Championship (the latter through the playoffs): During the 2011 Women's Professional Soccer season, the Western New York Flash had the best regular season record, and won in the Championship match on 27 August 2011 to win the WPS Championship and the double.
The National Women's Soccer League did not see a double in its first five seasons (2013–2017). However, in both its 2018 and 2019 seasons, the North Carolina Courage won both the NWSL Shield (awarded to the team with the best regular-season record) and the NWSL Championship (earned by winning in the NWSL Playoffs).
United States Virgin Islands
In the United States Virgin Islands, there is no national cup; the U.S. Virgin Islands Championship is the only national football competition in the country.
Oceania Football Confederation, Oceania
Australia
From 1977 to 1997, the double could be achieved in Australia by winning the National Soccer League and the NSL Cup.
Between 1997 and 2014, Australia had no national cup competition so the traditional league and cup double could not be achieved. Since the formation of the A-League in 2004, a double could be accomplished by winning the Premiership in the regular league season and the Championship in the finals series. The feat of winning the minor premiership and the playoffs, finals during the NSL era was not officially recognised as a 'double'.
From 2014–15 in Australian soccer, 2014–15, the FFA Cup takes place on an annual basis.

From 1993 to 2003, the league champions were determined by a knockout tournament between the top-finishing teams at the end of the season, the team that finished in first place during the league phase of the season were not officially awarded a title.
From 2003, the league system in the country was drastically restructured and saw the National Soccer League disband, with its teams now competing on a regional basis. The New Zealand Football Championship was formed and became the country's national league, exclusively run for franchised teams as opposed to the traditional clubs that competed in the National Soccer League.
As with most franchise leagues, the Football Championship was split into two phases; the Premiership during the regular season and the Championship during the finals phase, which was contested between the top four-placed teams of the Premiership phase. The franchises were ineligible to participate in the Chatham Cup. From 2021 onwards this system was replaced by the New Zealand National League, with the Chatham Cup as its primary cup, and the franchises were disbanded.

Philippines
Due to the sporadic nature of football competitions in the country, with a league not in place until the 21st century, and only the United Football League (Philippines), United Football League (UFL) to last more than a season, and a national cup competition not being consistently held annually, achieving a double has been mostly impossible until recently. The establishment of the UFL in 2009 led to annual league and cup tournaments. The institution of the PFF National Men's Club Championship (the national cup) in 2011 (next held in 2013) after years of dormancy meant that a domestic treble could now be contested. In 2013, a super cup is expected to be played, paving the way for a UFL treble.
During the existence of the UFL from 2009 to 2016, a league double has been achieved thrice. A domestic double (a title each from the UFL and the PFF) or a domestic treble (a UFL double and a PFF title) has not been won.

League and league cup double
A rarer (though less coveted) domestic double is that of winning the league championship and the league cup. In many leagues, this cannot be done as there is no second domestic cup competition (such as in Serie A, Italy and the Eredivisie, Netherlands) or it has been disbanded (such as in La Liga, Spain and Danish Superliga, Denmark). The format of league cups and the number of participating teams can vary enormously from one country to another. In the case of Football in Germany, Germany, the DFB-Ligapokal was played in the summer months prior to the

and therefore was won in the preceding calendar year to the title win.
Doubles in lower divisions
In many countries, knock-out competitions exclusive to clubs outside the top division(s) also exist. This gives lower ranked clubs a chance to win a double. Examples include:
Trans-state double
A Trans-state double occurs when a club wins a league and a cup which technically belong to two different countries and different associations. This usually happens as a result of a change in the political situation in the club's home country, or if the club has expatriated and is eligible to participate in the competitions of its native country and its adopted one.
Trans-state league double

Continental double
European double
In the same spirit as the European treble, the European double consists of winning the top tier European tournament (currently the

) and domestic league title in a single season or calendar year. This has been achieved on 31 occasions by 16 clubs from 56 European competitions. FC Barcelona, Barcelona and Real Madrid CF, Real Madrid has achieved this on the most occasions (5). AFC Ajax, Ajax and Real Madrid are the only teams that have successfully defended a European double. José Mourinho has the unique distinction of being one of two manager to achieve this double with two different clubs, having done so with FC Porto, Porto (2004) and Inter Milan (2010). Likewise, career rival Pep Guardiola achieved the same feat with FC Barcelona, Barcelona (2009) and
Manchester City (2023). Additionally, both of Guardiola's doubles are also
trebles as Barcelona won the Copa del Rey and City won the FA Cup in their respective seasons in addition to the two trophies.

with a 7–4–0 record. Van Gaal's dream team was the only club to achieve a European double with no defeats.
League and Europa League double
The UEFA Europa League (formerly the UEFA Cup), with a domestic league title win, offers the chance for a club to win a lesser European double; but arguably a more prestigious achievement than a domestic double. This has been completed on fifteen occasions.
In 1987, Göteborg finished third in the Allsvenskan. At this time, the title was decided by a play-off between the top four teams. They defeated first placed
Malmö FF in the play-off final.
League and Cup Winners' Cup double
Similarly, there were six occasions of clubs winning their League and the now defunct UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (CWC). No club ever won the CWC as part of a recognised treble. In the case of 1. FC Magdeburg and FC Dynamo Kyiv, Dynamo Kyiv, it is also worth noting that the domestic championships they won are also now disbanded, due to German reunification and the dissolution of the Soviet Union respectively.
Continental doubles outside of Europe
Outside Europe, the continental double might be won in a calendar year rather than a single season.
Cup double
There are various possible combinations of winning two knock-out competitions.
Domestic cup double
A
domestic cup double consists of winning both domestic cup competitions in a single season or calendar year (for seasons when this double was won in conjunction with the league title, see
domestic treble). Examples include:
European cup double
There have been several occasions when a club has won its association's cup or league cup and a UEFA trophy but not its League title. For European cup doubles won in conjunction with the league title, see the Treble (association football), treble.
