List of World Rally Championship Manufacturers' champions

The World Rally Championship for Manufacturers (or WRC Manufacturers' Championship) is a title awarded by the FIA to the most successful manufacturer over a World Rally Championship season, as determined by a points system based on rally results.^[1] The WRC was formed from well-known and popular international rallies, most of which had previously been part of the European Rally Championship and/or the International Championship for Manufacturers; the series was first contested in 1973.^[2] The first official rallying Manufacturers' Champion was Alpine-Renault. On seventeen occasions the Manufacturers' Champion team has not contained the World Drivers' Champion for a given season.

In the 45 seasons the Championship has been awarded, only 13 different manufacturers have won it; Lancia being the most successful, with 10 titles including 6 consecutive from 1987 to 1992. Only seven countries have produced winning manufacturers: France (3), Japan (3), Italy (2), the United Kingdom (2), Germany (2), South Korea (1), and United States (1).

Notes

1. M-Sport were not an official Ford team from 2013 to 2017, entering under a waiver to the rule insisting on manufacturer association^[3]
2. Ford Motor Company Limited, a British registered company, was the winning manufacturer. It's cars were homologated via the local ASN, RAC/MSA, thus were considered British under FIA rules, despite ultimate ownership by the Ford Motor Company of Dearborn, Michigan, USA^[4][5]
