The first World Cup after the war was played in Brasil in 1950. European teams from countries most affected by World War II (among others the Polish team) didn't enter the qualifiers. The silver medallists of the previous championships, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Argentina didn't participate either. For the first time teams from England and Scotland entered the competition and Uruguay, the world champion of 1930, entered after 20 years of absence. Eventually 13 out of 16 entered teams played in the tournament, after India, Scotland and Turkey had withdrawn from the competition after the draw. Under these circumstances, FIFA invited France and Portugal to play, but both countries rejected the offer. \n\nThere were no play-offs in the tournament, all games were played in groups. Most surprisingly, favoured England lost to USA and Spain (both games 0:1), which eliminated the pretender to the cup in the preliminary phase of the games. The team from Yugoslavia didn't get past the first round either, despite two victories. Spain, Sweden, Brasil and Uruguay made the finals, but in this stage only the South American teams counted. "Canarinhos" defeated Sweden 7:1 and Spain 6:1 and the game for the gold was to be played with Uruguay. Surprisingly, Uruguay was better and won the World Cup again, after 20 years. The 3. place went to Sweden. \n\nTop players of the tournament: Ademir, Bauer, Chico, Zizinho (Brasil), Basora (Spain), Ghiggia, Máspoli, Schiaffino, Varela (Uruguay), Mitiæ (Yugoslavia).

The first team to win the official competition was Uruguay in 1930, and the last Brazil. However, a few years before the Paraguay win there was a less formal competition which was still a worldwide competition which was won by England, but it is not really considered to be what we now call the World Cup. The World Cup is the new name for what was once known as the Jules Rimet Cup, the actual trophy of which Brazil got to keep permanently after their third win in 1970.

The Jules Rimet (not Juliette) trophy was the original prize for winning the World Cup. During World War II (1939-1945), the trophy was held by Italy (by virtue of their 1938 victory). Ottorino Barassi, an official of the Italian Football Federation, hid it from the Germans in a shoe-box under his bed. During a public exhibition just before the 1966 World Cup Final in England the trophy was stolen, but was found just seven days later.\n\nThe Brazilian team won the trophy in perpetuity in 1970, being rewarded for being the only team ever to have won three World Cups. However the cup was stolen again in 1983 and never recovered: it may have been smelted. The Brazilian Football Confederation commissioned a replica of their own, made of sterling silver with a gold plating and a blue base made of lapis lazuli.\n\nA replacement trophy, officially known as the FIFA World Cup, was designed and first presented to the winners of the 1974 World Cup. But this time around, FIFA is unlikely to give it away again: the winners of the tournament receive it in loan for four years and receive a replica to keep. It is not known whether FIFA will retire the trophy after all of the name plaques at the base are filled in; this will occur after the 2038 World Cup.

(m)\n\nThe first Football World Cup was staged in 1930. The games were awarded to Uruguay as they were the Olympic champions at the time and since they were celebrating the centenary of their independence. As well as being the first ever hosts, Uruguay also became the inaugural champions, beating Argentina in the final, 4-2.\n\nThe first World Cup was the only one without qualification; teams were invited. Due to the long and costly trip across the Atlantic, very few European teams chose to participate; two months before the tournament started, no team from that continent had officially entered. FIFA's president, Jules Rimet, intervened, along with the Uruguayan government, which promised to pay the travel expenses of any travelling European team. Eventually four teams made the three-week sea trip: Belgium, France, Romania, and Yugoslavia.\n\nThe thirteen teams were drawn into four groups, with all the games taking place in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. Since there were no qualifying games, the opening two matches of the tournament were also the first ever World Cup games, taking place simultaneously on July 13th; France beat Mexico 4-1, while the USA defeated Belgium 3-0 at the same time in Estadio Gran Parque Central. France's Lucien Laurent was the scorer of the first ever World Cup goal. The USA's Bert Patenaude scored the first hat-trick in World Cup history, as his team beat Paraguay 3-0. The four eventual group winners, Argentina, Yugoslavia, Uruguay, and the USA, moved to the semifinals.\n\nThe two semi-final matches saw identical 6-1 scores, as Argentina beat the US and Uruguay defeated Yugoslavia. Because the traditional third-place playoff match was not established until 1934, the 1930 World Cup is unique in not having any games take place between the semi-finals and the Final as Yugoslavia refused to play the 3rd place play-off against the USA. [citation needed] However, some sources, notably the FIFA Bulletin from 1984, affirm that the match occurred (Yugoslavia - US 3-1). [1] This information has never been officially confirmed.\n\nThe first ever World Cup Final was played at the Centenario Stadium, Montevideo, on July 30th. A seemingly innocuous controversy overshadowed the build-up to the match as the teams disagreed on who should provide the match ball, forcing FIFA to intervene and decree that the Argentine team would provide the ball for the first half and the Uruguayans would provide their own for the second. The game ended 4-2 to Uruguay (who had trailed 2-1 at half time) who added the title World Cup Winners to the already prestigious mantle of Olympic Champions, as Jules Rimet presented the World Cup Trophy, which was later to be named after the man himself. Only one player from that final, Francisco Varallo (who played as a striker for Argentina), is still alive today.

If you mean which trophy, it was called Jules Rimet Trophy. It was awarded to Brazil in 1970 after Brazil won three times. According to the new rules on the FIFA World Cup Trophy, the winner keeps the actual trophy for four years, then keeps a copy of it. 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. That is the first time national teams from around the world met for a world championship.
