Notes
  1. The number of Copa del Rey wins Athletic Bilbao have been credited with is disputed. The 1902 Copa de la Coronación was won by Club Bizcaya, a team made up of players from Athletic Bilbao and Bilbao FC. In 1903 these two clubs merged as Athletic Bilbao and took part in the first official Copa del Rey in 1903. The 1902 trophy is on display in the Athletic museum[1] and the club includes it in its own honours list. However the LFP and RFEF official statistics do not regard this as an official edition of the Copa del Rey won by Athletic.[2]
  2. In addition to the 14 listed, Club Bizcaya, composed mostly of players from Athletic, were runners-up in the 1907 Copa del Rey
  3. Cup awarded automatically as the club won both the Copa del Rey and La Liga.
  4. es:Copa de oro "Argentina"
  5. In the 1917–18 North Championship, Athletic 'retired from the competition once finalised'.[3] after finishing top of the table.
  6. The 1938–39 Biscay Championship was won by Bilbao Athletic, a makeshift squad formed by the club.[4]
  7. In the 1924–25 Biscay Championship, Arenas Club de Getxo won a playoff 2–1 against Athletic after both finished level on points.[5]
