Treble (association football)
FC Barcelona are the only European team in football history to win a continental treble twice, in 2008–09 and in 2014–15.
A treble in association football is achieved when a club team wins three trophies in a single season. A 'continental treble'[1] involves winning the club's national league competition, main national cup competition and a continental trophy. A 'domestic treble' involves winning three national competitions—normally the league title, the primary cup competition and one secondary competition.[2][3]
Competitions which consist of a single match or a two-leg match (e.g. the FA Community Shield, Irish FA Charity Shield, Supercopa de España, Trophée des Champions, the Recopa Sudamericana, the UEFA Super Cup or the Intercontinental Cup) are not normally counted as part of a treble.

Continental trebles
This list includes clubs who have won their country's top tier league and the primary cup competition (the double), in addition to the major continental tournament, all within a single season. This was first achieved in 1967 by Celtic, winning the Scottish Football League, Scottish Cup and European Cup.
In total, 19 clubs across five confederations have achieved the feat on 22 occasions since 1967, including six African clubs, seven European clubs[4], two Oceanian clubs, two North American clubs and one Asian club. This list does not include secondary continental and domestic competitions.
In Europe, Spanish club Barcelona is the only club to have won this treble twice.[5][6]

Domestic trebles
A domestic treble consists of a club winning three of their country's competitions (top-tier league, cup, league cup, etc), all during one season. Many countries do not have a third domestic competition (such as a League Cup), besides competitions consisting of a single match or a two-leg match (e.g. Supercups), so achieving a domestic treble is impossible (modern examples include Germany and Italy).
Some leagues, including the A-League, the New Zealand Football Championship, the Premier Soccer League in South Africa, the Q-League in Qatar and Major League Soccer, each award only one championship trophy at the end of postseason knockout playoffs. However, teams in those leagues are able to achieve a domestic treble as those leagues award separate trophies for the team that finishes the regular season atop the league table.
Most Latin American leagues host two league competitions per season with each one lasting half of a year. Also, some cases like Mexico also host two of the same cup competition. Brazil has an unofficial "Triple Crown", a name given to a team that wins the national league, the national cup, and their state league.
Note that trophy competitions which consist of a single match or a two-leg match (e.g. Supercups in general) are generally not counted as part of a treble.
