List of Hapoel Haifa F.C. seasons

This is a list of seasons played by Hapoel Haifa Football Club in Israeli and European football, from 1928 (when the club joined the newly founded EIFA) to the most recent completed season. It details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the top scorers for each season. Top scorers in bold were also the top scorers in the Israeli league that season. Records of minor competitions such as the Lilian Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the State Cup and the Toto Cup.

The club has won the League championship Once, the State Cup 3 times and the Toto Cup (for top division clubs) twice, as well as the Israeli 10th Anniversary Cup. The club has never been out of the two top divisions of Israeli football.

History

edit

In 1998–99, the club won its first league championship.
