How is each team’s Cup count made?
The most Stanley Cups by team depends on the year you start counting. Three starting years give three totals for Montreal, and two for Toronto.
This table shows each rule and the totals it gives.
| Counting rule | Starts in | Montreal | Toronto |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Cups on the NHL.com list | The first Cup | 24 | 13 |
| Since the NHL formed | 1917 | 23 | 13 |
| Since 1927 only | 1927 | 22 | 11 |
Why Montreal shows 24, 23 or 22
The NHL.com list counts every Cup it gives to the Canadiens. That includes 1916 and 1924, so the total is 24.
The Hockey Hall of Fame counts 23 since the formation of the NHL. That leaves out the 1916 Cup, which came before the NHL started in 1917.
The third count starts in 1927, the first Final after the NHL became the only league competing for the Cup. It leaves out 1916 and 1924, so Montreal has 22.
All three numbers are correct for their rule. Our guide on how much the Stanley Cup weighs uses the first two.
Why Toronto shows 13 or 11
The Maple Leafs name alone has 11 Cups on the list. The Toronto Arenas won in 1918 and the Toronto St. Pats won in 1922.
Those two Cups bring the total to 13. The Toronto Maple Leafs history page shows 13.
The list also names the Toronto Blueshirts in 1914. The Maple Leafs history page does not mention that Cup.
The NHL era share
The Cup was awarded 99 times from 1927 to 2026. No Cup was awarded in 2005.
Montreal won the most Stanley Cups in that time, 22 of the 99. 22 divided by 99 is 0.222, or 22.2 percent.
Toronto and Detroit won 11 each. On this count they tie for second.

Which Cups belong to clubs that are gone?
The NHL.com list has 139 Cup entries from 1893 to 2026. The 22 clubs in the NHL today hold 101 of them.
139 minus 101 is 38. Those 38 entries belong to clubs that are not in the NHL.
The first Ottawa Senators hold 7 of the 38. The Montreal Victorias hold 5.
The Montreal Wanderers and the Ottawa Silver Seven hold 4 each.
The Montreal Maroons hold 2, and the Seattle Metropolitans hold 1. Today’s Senators have no Cup.
Years with no winner or two winners
No Cup was awarded in 1919 or 2005. Seven years name two holders: 1896, 1899, 1902, 1903, 1906, 1907 and 1910.
That is why 132 years with a winner show 139 entries.
Canada and the United States
Four Canadian clubs have won Stanley Cups. Montreal has the most Stanley Cups of the four, 24, then Toronto 13, Edmonton 5 and Calgary 1.
24 plus 13 is 37. 37 plus 5 is 42, and 42 plus 1 is 43.
The 18 US clubs with a Cup hold the other 58. A Canadian club last won in 1993, when Montreal won.
2026 minus 1993 is 33. No Canadian club has won in 33 years.
