Records come from the site's national-team Elo results (rugby union, football, basketball), its cricket results (Test, ODI and T20I; no-result matches left out) and the champions board (titles). Rugby league internationals, women's rugby and women's cricket are not tracked, so rugby league shows only in years with a World Cup title.
