Croatian football clubs in European competitions

Summary

Croatian football clubs have participated in UEFA competitions since 1958. Before 1992, Croatia was a part of Yugoslavia. Therefore, Croatian teams represented this country and did not always have a guaranteed spot in European competitions. Dinamo Zagreb is the only Croatian club that won a European trophy by winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup 1966–67 season.

All statistics and records are accurate as of 14 March 2024.
