FA Cup Factfile has revealed that the following FA Cup rivals have met each other the most number of times in FA Cup history!
Lowestoft Town v Great Yarmouth Town: 21 times
Cambridge City v King's Lynn: 20
Chippenham Town v Trowbridge Town: 20
Barry v Llanelli: 18
Liverpool v Everton: 23 times but Liverpool have never beaten Everton in an FA Cup tie at Anfield-mind you they have only played at Anfield in the cup 5 times in history and there have been a couple of draws.
One reason of course is that the early rounds of the competition are regionalised, but not so Liverpool and Everton.
Their first Cup meeting was in 1902 in Round 1 with a 1-1 and a 2-0 win for the reds in the replay. There have been six semi-final meets (including two replayed) and two finals.
The two clubs have met in all competitions 227 times and over 50 of these were during War in unofficial tournaments.
Their last cup meeting was in the 2012 semi-final won by Liverpool 2-1. Other semis were played in 1906 (Everton won), 1950 (Liverpool won) 1971 (Liverpool won), 1977 (Liverpool won).
FA Cup Finals include 1989 (L 3-2), 1986 (L 3-1),
They have not met outside of League Division One (of old) or the Premier League in all League games. Other matches include Charity Shield, League Cup and other silly ones like the Screen Sports Super Cup!
