- It competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.
- The team has played its home matches in the 62,850-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since April 2019, replacing their former home of White Hart Lane, which had been demolished to make way for the new stadium on the same site.
- Founded in 1882, Tottenham's emblem is a cockerel standing upon a football, with the Latin motto Audere est Facere ("to dare is to do").
- The club has traditionally worn white shirts and navy blue shorts home kit since the 1898–99 season.

- Tottenham were the first club in the 20th century to achieve the League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the 1960–61 season.
- After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 they became the first British club to win a UEFA club competition – the European Cup Winners' Cup.
- They were also the inaugural winners of the UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies.
- They collected at least one major trophy in each of the six decades from the 1950s to 2000s – an achievement only matched by Manchester United.
