Netherlands at the FIFA World Cup

This is a record of Netherlands at the FIFA World Cup. Netherlands has appeared in 10 World Cup finals as of 2018.

For the women's team, see Netherlands at the FIFA Women's World Cup.

After appearing in two consecutive World Cup finals in 1974 and 1978, the team had their biggest World Cup streak in the 1990s, reaching three straight tournaments. In 1990, two years after the European Championship at the UEFA Euro 1988, the Dutch went out in the Round of 16, defeated by West Germany. In 1994 Netherlands was eliminated by Brazil in the quarter-finals, and in 1998 lost to Brazil in the semi-finals and Croatia in the third-place play-off. Netherlands returned in 2006, being eliminated by Portugal in the Round of 16, a game known as the Battle of Nuremberg. In 2010 the team reached their third World Cup final, this time losing to Spain, with a record number of cards (24 yellow and a yellow red one). Altogether the Dutch team have received 97 cards in World Cup history in 50 matches (90 yellow, 4 yellow red and 3 red in 50 games).[1] The Dutch avenged this loss during the first match of the following 2014 World Cup, routing the Spanish 5–1, and eventually going on to their first third-place finish. The Dutch have also never lost a World Cup match in regular time by more than one goal.
