[1] The Federation Cup was an official European ice hockey club competition created in 1995.

In the first year of competition, 13 Eastern European teams from twelve countries participated in the tournament.

Due to the increased number of participants (some Western European clubs had registered for the competition), an additional qualifying round was introduced.

With the beginning of the IIHF European Champions Cup from 2004 to 2005, participants included national champions of countries not in the Super Six (the top six European nations according to the IIHF World Ranking), as well as teams from Super Six leagues, which included HC Dynamo Moscow and HKm Zvolen.

Note: Great Britain's medal total includes three teams from England, one from Northern Ireland, and one from Wales.
