Corrected entry: In Quidditch Through the Ages, it says that the first ever World Cup was in 1473, with a match being held every 4 years. Yet the World Cup in 1994 is number 422. There can't be 422 world cups in 521 years with a four-year gap in between. Calculated correctly, the World Cup that the Weasleys, Hermione, and Harry attend is actually the 131st, and it should have been held in 1993.

Correction: The only thing mentioned about the 1473 World Cup was that every Quidditch rule was broken during it. There's no mention of it being the first, and it is not given a number.
