The Jules Rimet Trophy was the original prize for winning the World Cup. Originally called simply the World Cup or Coupe du Monde, it was renamed in 1946 to honour the FIFA President Jules Rimet who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition. Designed by Abel Lafleur and made of gold plated sterling silver on a blue base of lapis lazuli, it stood 35 cm high and weighed 3.8 kg. [1] It was in the shape of an octagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory.

The FIFA World Cup (often called the Football World Cup or simply the World Cup) is the most important competition in international football (soccer), and the world's most representative team sport event. Organised by Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's governing body, the World Cup is contested by the men's national football teams of FIFA member nations. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930 (except in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II), however it is more of an ongoing event as the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds.\n\nThe final tournament phase (often called the "Finals") involves 32 national teams competing over a four-week period in a previously nominated host nation, with these games making it the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world.[1] In the 17 tournaments held, only seven nations have ever won the World Cup Finals. Brazil are the current holders, as well as the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament five times, while Germany and Italy follow with three titles each. The next football World Cup Finals will be held in Germany between June 9 and July 9, 2006.\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHistory\n\nPrevious international competitions\nThe first international football match was played in 1872 between England and Scotland, although at this stage the sport was rarely played outside Great Britain. As football began to increase in popularity, it was held as a demonstration sport (with no medals awarded) at the 1900, 1904 and 1906 Summer Olympics before football became an official competition at the 1908 Summer Olympics. Organised by England's Football Association, the event was for amateur players only and was regarded suspiciously as a show rather than a competition. The England national amateur football team won the event in both 1908 and 1912.\n\nWith the Olympic event continuing to be contested only between amateur teams, Sir Thomas Lipton organised the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy tournament in Turin in 1909. The competition is often described as The First World Cup,[2] and featured the most prestigious professional club sides from Italy, Germany and Switzerland. The first tournament was won by West Auckland, an amateur side from north-east England that was invited after the Football Association refused to be associated with the competition. West Auckland returned in 1911 to successfully defend their title, and were given the trophy to keep forever, as per the rules of the competition.\n\nIn 1914, FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic tournament as a "world football championship for amateurs"[3], and took responsibility for organising the event. This led the way for the world's first intercontinental football competition, at the 1924 Summer Olympics. Uruguay won the tournament,[4] before winning the gold medal again in 1928, with another South American team, Argentina, taking silver. In 1928 FIFA made the decision to stage their own international tournament. With Uruguay now two-time official football world champions and due to celebrate their centenary of independence in 1930, FIFA named Uruguay as the host country.\n\n\nThe first official World Cup\nThe 1932 Summer Olympics, held in Los Angeles, did not plan to include football as part of the programme due to the low popularity of football in the United States. FIFA and the IOC also disagreed over the status of amateur players, and so football was dropped from the Games.[5] FIFA president Jules Rimet thus set about organising the inaugural World Cup tournament to be held in Uruguay in 1930. The national associations of selected nations were invited to send a team, but the choice of Uruguay as a venue for the competition meant a long and costly trip across the Atlantic Ocean for European sides. Indeed, no European country pledged to send a team until two months before the start of

History of the FIFA World Cup\n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nNo other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige.\n\nA group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition. \n\nWhen it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the Americas, the World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition. \n\nSince 1930, the 16 tournaments have seen only seven different winners. However, the FIFA World Cup has also been punctuated by dramatic upsets that have helped create footballing history - the United States defeating England in 1950, North Korea's defeat of Italy in 1966, Cameroon's emergence in the 1980s and their opening match defeat of the Argentinean cup-holders in 1990.... \n\nToday, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated audience of over 37 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including approximately 1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the French stadium. \n\nAfter all these years and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World Cup remains the same - the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every footballer's ambition. \n\nWorld Cup Summaries\n \nYear Champion Runner-Up Result 3rd Place Host \n1930 Uruguay Argentina 4-2 United States Uruguay \n1934 Italy Czechoslovakia 2-1 (ot) Germany Italy \n1938 Italy Hungary 4-2 Brazil France \n1950 Uruguay Brazil 2-1 Sweden Brazil \n1954 West Germany Hungary 3-2 Austria Switzerland \n1958 Brazil Sweden 5-2 France Sweden \n1962 Brazil Czechoslovakia 3-1 Chile Chile \n1966 England West Germany 4-2 (ot) Portugal England \n1970 Brazil Italy 4-1 West Germany Mexico \n1974 West Germany Holland 2-1 Poland West Germany \n1978 Argentina Holland 3-1 (ot) Brazil Argentina \n1982 Italy West Germany 3-1 Poland Spain \n1986 Argentina West Germany 3-2 France Mexico \n1990 West Germany Argentina 1-0 Italy Italy \n1994 Brazil Italy 0-0 (3:2 pk) Sweden United States \n1998 France Brazil 3-0 Croatia France \n2002 Brazil Germany 2-0 Turkey Korea / Japan \n2006 - - - - Germany \n \n \n\nTeam Records\nBrazil holds the most World Cup championships with five and Italy and West Germany/Germany are tied with three World Cup titles.

Hungary beat El Salvador in 1982, 10-1 for the highest goal differential in a World Cup match (Hungary is also the only team to score 10 or more goals in a World Cup).\n\nIndividual Records\nGerard Muller is the top scorer in World Cup history with 14 goals. Salenko of Russia scored 5 goals in a match during the 1994 World Cup. Guillermo Stabile of Argentina was the first player to ever record a hat trick (1930 World Cup).

If you mean which trophy, it was called Jules Rimet Trophy. It was awarded to Brazil in 1970 after Brazil won three times.

No one will keep it forever like the Jules Rimet Trophy.\n\nIf you mean what was the world championship before 1930, there was none.
