世界杯的冠军奖杯是国际足联制定并颁发的，其名字叫做“雷米特杯”（Jules Rimet Cup） 雷米特（Jules Rimet）是上世纪二三十年代国际足联的主席，也就是当时掌管世界足球联盟的最高首领。他是一名出色的足球运动员，同时也是一个虔诚的天主教徒，因此被尊称为“博士”。
Rimet本身就是一个极具传奇色彩的人，而他的经历也直接影响了后世对于世界杯的看法和认知。1930年首届世界杯之后，为了纪念这位功勋卓著的上任主席，国际足联决定由他命名的奖杯将永远保留。
从1930年到1970年的4届杯赛中，该奖杯一直作为唯一的主赛事奖杯存在，而在1970年以后举办的每届世界杯上，它依然是最重要的附加奖项之一。直到2018年俄罗斯世界杯，法国队夺冠后，才终于有机会加冕“新王”。

The current design was unveiled in April 2013， following an international online vote (in French and Spanish) to select from among five designs submitted by leading designers around the world. In November that year， it was announced that the original design had been altered just prior to production so that the top of the new sculpture would be shaped like a soccer ball with the words 'world champion' engraved on the outer edge.
In March， 2014， a replica made of glass， porcelain， and gold-plated bronze was exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London for two months after opening there as part of its Designer Crafts series， marking one of six exhibits about football over four years. It has also toured several other cities including Paris， New York City， São Paulo， Melbourne， Kuala Lumpur， Singapore， Tokyo， Mumbai and Johannesburg. On July 7th 2014， it reached South Bend， Indiana where Notre Dame players visited it during their visit to Chicago. At that time， they were joined by US National Team member Geoff Cameron along with his brother Matt， who played collegiately for Notre Dame and is currently head coach of FC Cincinnati.
