ARSENAL Football Club is an English professional football club in North London that plays in the Premier League. As the one of the most successful clubs in English football, they have won 13 First Division and Premier League titles and 10 FA Cups.

Arsenal was founded in 1886 in Woolwich and in 1893 became the first club from the south of England to join the Football League. In 1913, they moved north across the city to Arsenal Stadium in Highbury. In the 1930s they won five League Championship titles and two FA Cups. After a lean period in the post-war years they won the League and FA Cup Double, in the 1970–71 season, and in the 1990s and first decade of the 21st century won two more Doubles and reached the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final.

Arsenal have a long-standing rivalry with neighbours Tottengham Hotspur, with whom they regularly contest the North London derby.

Arsenal are also the third most valuable club in the world as of 2010, valued at $1.2 billion.

Arsenal's tally of thirteen League Championships is the third highest in English football, after Liverpool and Manchester United, while the total of ten FA Cups is the second highest, after Manchester United.
Arsenal have achieved three League and FA Cup "Doubles" (in 1971, 1998 and 2002), a record shared with Manchester United, and in 1993 were the first side in English football to complete the FA Cup and League Cup double. They were also the first London club to reach the final of the UEFA Champions League, in 2006.
