What is the name of the trophy awarded to the World Cup winner?

The trophy awarded to the World Cup winner is the FIFA World Cup Trophy.

The current trophy was introduced for the 1974 tournament after Brazil won the original Jules Rimet Trophy outright in 1970, having secured its third World Cup title. FIFA selected Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga’s design from 53 proposals. It shows two human figures lifting the Earth and is made of 18-karat gold with a malachite base.

A common mix-up is calling the trophy the Jules Rimet Trophy. That name belongs to the first World Cup trophy, used from 1930 through 1970 and renamed in 1946 after FIFA president Jules Rimet. Brazil’s original trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered.

The modern original remains FIFA property; winners receive it for the post-match celebrations and are given a gold-plated replica to keep. The trophy is about 36.8 centimetres tall and weighs 6.175 kilograms.
