Hosts: countries where a team played at home. Winners: the last game of the final (a replayed final counts the replay), or the top of a final group, or the play-off that broke a tie; a few early editions decided off the field or by games the results file doesn’t mark are taken from the official record. Rounds for continental tournaments are worked out from the results. Results: martj42/international_results (CC0), men’s full internationals since 1872. Rounds and groups: openfootball (CC0).
