Note: The table shows when the title tournament (which prior to 1922 was usually a match) finished, irrespective of the date of any playoff match. (This standard for reference to the years of events was formalised by the ACF Council in 2016.) The Champion retains their title until the next tournament starts if they do not contest it, or until the next tournament ends (including any playoff they are involved in) if they do.
