List of Hapoel Haifa F.C. seasons

Last updated February 10, 2024

This is a list of seasons played by Hapoel Haifa Football Club in Israeli and European football, from 1928 (when the club joined the newly founded EIFA) to the most recent completed season. It details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the top scorers for each season. Top scorers in bold were also the top scorers in the Israeli league that season. Records of minor competitions such as the Lilian Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the State Cup and the Toto Cup.

History

Hapoel Haifa Football Club was established on 24 April 1924 in Haifa. In 1928 the club joined the EIFA and competed in its competitions ever since. The club played in the top division until the end of the 1980–81 season, when the club relegated to the second division for the first time in its existence. In 1998–99, the club won its first league championship.
