Actually all answers so far are wrong you should look in Europe...yes there is only one Italy!!!The real question is what year did Brazil NOT play ? Check the teams that competed in the France 1938 World Cup...I doubt you will find them unless history has changed over night!!!

Brazil won the last World Cup, they went into the finals with Germany and beat them 2-0.\n\nThere were no matches in 1948 and 1942 because of the World War 2.

Uruguay won the first World Cup in 1930 at home and again in 1950 when it beat Brazil in Brazil (breaks my heart)those are only World Cups it has ever won.

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.

If you would have to pick one country, it would have to be Brazil, because they won the most World Cups. It doesn't make very much sense to ask this question though, because what only matters is how good a country is in a particular period:\n\nPerhaps it makes more sense to break it up into decades:\n\nHere's what I think which teams were best in each decade:\n\n1930s: Uruguay and Italy\n1940s: (World War II, so little international football)\n1950s: Hungary best, Brazil second best\n1960s: Brazil best, West Germany second best\n1970s: The Netherlands best, Brazil second best\n1980s: Argentina best, Italy second best\n1990s: France best, Brazil second best\n2000s: Brazil best.......and I have no idea who to nominate for second best in this decade!\n\nThe best teams ever to participate in the World Cup are in my opinion Hungary 1954, Brazil 1970, The Netherlands 1974 and France 1998.

Germany and Brazil both made seven world cup finals... Brazil won five and Germany three times.. Brazil is the only country to participate all the world cup events while germany did't participate all due to the political situations... Germany always qualified but once did't participate.

CORRECTION!: Portugal, Hungary, NORWAY (France `98 1-2) and SWITZERLAND (1950: 2-2). That was an interesting question. Now I remember Brazil defeated Holland in USA `94 and found in FIFA that defeated Yugoslavia in 1950. Good question!

BraZIL\n\nIn 1962 the Football World Cup returned to the continent of South America. It was held in Chile by FIFA's decision in Lisbon in June 1956 , and won by Brazil, who retained the championship beating Czechoslovakia 3-1 in the final.\n\nOnly three nations competed for the honour of staging the tournament. Chile prevailed over West Germany and Argentina though the larger, better-equipped Latin American country was the favorite. The format of the competition stayed the same as 1958: 16 teams qualified, divided into four groups of four. The top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals.\n\nIn May 1960, as the preparations were well under way, Chile suffered one of the largest earthquakes (8.5 magnitude) of the twentieth century, which caused enormous damage to the national infrastructure. In face of this, Carlos Dittborn, the president of the Organization Committee, coined the phrase "Because we don't have anything, we will do everything in our power to rebuild," which became the unofficial slogan of the tournament. Stadia and other infrastructure were rebuilt at record speed and the tournament occurred on schedule with no major organizational flaw. Sadly, Dittborn would not live to see the success of his tireless efforts, as he died one month before the start of the tournament. The World Cup venue at Arica was renamed in his honor and bears his name to this day.

Brazil won the world cup for 5 times which is still the maximum number of times so far for a country won the coveted world cup. Brazil's years of world cup glory are 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.

Depending on how you define "not playing in the previous world [cup]".\n\nItaly won in 1934, but did not take part at all in 1930. Uruguay qualified for the 1938 finals, but did not take part, and won in 1950. West Germany did not take part in qualifying for the 1950 World Cup, but won in 1954. France took part in qualifying for the 1994 WC, but did not make the finals.\n\nSo for my money, the only teams to really fit your answer are the Italians and the West Germans (I consider playing in qualification as part of the World Cup). Granted, there are migitating circumstances in both - 1934 was only the second WC, and transport links were nowhere near as developed as today, and the small matter of WWII and West Germany being not a member of FIFA.
