It used to be tradition that the country that won that trophy three times would keep the trophy. That was the case in 1970, when Brazil won and kept the Jules Rimet trophy. But FIFA president Sepp Blatter said before this World Cup that if a country won this trophy for the third time, they would not have been able to keep it. As it was, Italy has only won the current trophy twice (including the 2006 event).

This year's winner will receive a replica of the World Cup Trophy regardless of how many times they have won it.
In 1970 Brazil's third victory entitled them to claim the Jules Rimet Trophy permanently, and a new trophy, the World Cup Trophy, was contested at the next tournament, four years later in West Germany.
The World Cup Trophy will not be retired until the name plaque has been filled with the names of the winners, and is expected to remain in use until 2038.
As well as winning the original trophy three times, Brazil have won the World Cup Trophy twice.
Italy won the original Cup twice and the new Trophy once, in 1982.
Germany/West Germany have won the tournament three times, twice lifting the current Trophy, and Argentina have also won the current Trophy twice.
But even if they win it again, no-one will receive this Trophy outright.

Well, the cup is done in solid gold as u may know and that definitely has to be returned after 4 years. But Italy will get a gold-plated replica to keep.

Hi,
Very long time ago, they used to create a new cup every four years. That means the winner keeps it forever.
This time, the winner keeps it for four days, and they return it...
