Overall team records

In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.{{cite web|url=https://www.worldfootball.net/alltime_table/asian-cup|title=Asian Cup » All-time league table|publisher=worldfootball.net|accessdate=24 November 2022|archive-date=27 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230227153524/https://www.worldfootball.net/alltime_table/asian-cup/|url-status=live}}{{cite web | url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/asia-champ-alltime.html | title=Asian Nations Cup Final Tournaments 1956–2019 – All-Time Table }}
