The trophy stands {{convert|36.5|cm}} tall and is made of {{convert|6.175|kg}} of 18 karat (75%) gold, worth approximately US$161,000 in 2018. Its base is {{convert|13|cm}} in diameter containing two layers of [[malachite]].

Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, "The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory".<ref name=newtrophy /> The Cup used to be kept by the winning team until the final draw of the next tournament, but that is no longer the case. Instead the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold-plated rather than solid gold. Likewise, three-time winners keep the replica instead of the original cup.<ref name="newtrophy" /> [[Germany national football team|Germany]] became the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time when they won the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]],<ref>{{cite news |title=Germany v Argentina: World Cup final champions not allowed to keep trophy – despite becoming three-time winners |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/10959027/Germany-v-Argentina-World-Cup-final-champions-not-allowed-to-keep-trophy-despite-becoming-three-time-winners.html |newspaper=The Telegraph |date=6 July 2018 |access-date=6 July 2018 |archive-date=12 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210112141719/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/10959027/Germany-v-Argentina-World-Cup-final-champions-not-allowed-to-keep-trophy-despite-becoming-three-time-winners.html |url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] became the second nation following their third win in Qatar at the [[2022 FIFA World Cup]]. The trophy has the engraving "FIFA World Cup" on its base. After the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]], a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy where the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright. The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language – for example, "1974 {{lang|de|Deutschland}}{{-"}} or "1994 {{lang|es|Brasil}}{{-"}}. In 2010, the name of the winning nation was engraved as "2010 Spain" in English, not in Spanish.<ref name="globo">{{cite news |date=21 April 2014 |title=Taça da Copa do Mundo chega ao Brasil (World Cup trophy arrives in Brazil) |url=http://globotv.globo.com/rede-globo/jornal-da-globo/t/edicoes/v/taca-da-copa-do-mundo-chega-ao-brasil/3296190/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140606205424/http://globotv.globo.com/rede-globo/jornal-da-globo/t/edicoes/v/taca-da-copa-do-mundo-chega-ao-brasil/3296190/ |archive-date=6 June 2014 |access-date=22 April 2014 |publisher=Globo TV}}</ref><ref name="uol-live">{{cite news |date=13 July 2014 |title=Alemanha x Argentina – AO VIVO |url=http://agoranacopa.blogosfera.uol.com.br/2014/07/13/alemanha-x-argentina-ao-vivo/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715012115/http://agoranacopa.blogosfera.uol.com.br/2014/07/13/alemanha-x-argentina-ao-vivo/ |archive-date=15 July 2014 |access-date=14 July 2014 |publisher=UOL}}</ref> This was corrected in the new plate made after the 2018 World Cup.<ref>{{Citation |title=FIFA World Cup Trophy Engraving! |date=16 October 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnqTWzAKMc4 |access-date=12 July 2021 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/ZnqTWzAKMc4 |archive-date=11 December 2021 |url-status=live |publisher=FIFA |language=en}}{{cbignore}}</ref> As of 2022, twelve winners have been engraved on the base.
