Croatia Clubs Ranked - 1960/61 to 2024/25

Croatia was part of the Yugoslav league until 1990/91, when the country was broken up into several different ones. Points are therefore shared among what are now other nations up until that time. In 1992 and since then, Croatian clubs have been part of their own competition.

In the SuperSport HNL, the top four are rewarded with 6, 3, 2 and 1. The Football Cup 4 and 2 points for the finalists only. Up to 8 points are awarded for European success. Now for a competition breakdown.

The league is dominated by Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split, with HNK Rijeka having recent success too. Since 1992, those three sides have won all titles bar one. Dinamo won 18 out of 19 from 2005/06 to 2023/24. The current title holder is Rijeka.

The cup follows the same pattern with the top three sharing the trophy. Due to the knock out format, long runs of wins are rare with Dinamo putting three together from 2006/07.

In Europe, the only success has been in the Europa League. Dinamo were runner up in 1963 and winners in 1967. Hajduk Split made a semi final in 1984.

All put together, the clubs are below. The grand total is shown for each club, divided into regions with a ranking number (Rk), which gives their place compared to all the other clubs. Some of them have now ceased to exist and others have changed names but I've used the latest ones.

I've divided the clubs up into four regions. Zagreb has about 28% of the total population and took 46.5% of the total points. South 30%, West 13% with the other two are the same with 5.2% each. Crowd trouble is a problem, with the rivalry between the two top clubs intense.
