Birmingham City Football Club are a professional association football club based in the city of Birmingham, England. Founded in 1875 as ''Small Heath Alliance'', the club turned professional in 1885〔Matthews (1995), p. 8.〕 and three years later, under the name of ''Small Heath F.C. Ltd'', were the first football club to become a limited company with a board of directors. They were later known as ''Birmingham'' before adopting their current name in 1943.〔Matthews (2000), "Club name", p. 55.〕 Elected to the newly formed Second Division of the Football League in 1892, they have never dropped below the third tier of English football.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fchd.info/SMALLHEA.HTM ), (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fchd.info/BIRMINGH.HTM ), and (【引用サイトリンク】title=Birmingham City: History 1975 to date )〕 They were also pioneers of European football competition, taking part in the inaugural season of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. The list encompasses the major honours won by Birmingham City, records set by the club, their managers and their players, and details of their performance in European competition. The player records section itemises the club's leading goalscorers and those who have made most appearances in first-team competitions.

Their first honour in national competitive football was the inaugural championship of the Football League Second Division in 1892–93. The majority of their success came in the period from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s. Promoted to the First Division in 1955, in the following season they achieved their highest league finish of sixth place and their second FA Cup final appearance. They went on to reach two successive finals of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and won their only major trophy, the League Cup, for the first time in 1963, a success not repeated until 2011. In the 1994–95 season they completed the "lower-division double", of the Division Two (level 3) championship and the Football League Trophy, a knockout cup competition open to clubs in the third and fourth tiers of English football;〔 this was the first time the golden goal was used to decide the winner of a senior English cup final.
