The 1901–02 World Championship was an exhibition football match that took place at High Road Ground (the erstwhile name of White Hart Lane) on 2 September 1901 and Tynecastle Park on 2 January 1902 between the winners of the English Football Association Challenge Cup, Tottenham Hotspur, and the Scottish Cup, Heart of Midlothian.

The game was not the first "World Championship" game between English and Scottish sides; indeed, it was the second time Hearts had played this game.[1][2] The match was won by Heart of Midlothian who won on aggregate.[3]

This was the final time the match was played and the only time it was held in a two-leg format. Only four months later the British League Cup was set up to have the winners and runners-up of the Leagues meet, but it would no longer be billed as a World Championship.
