The Hundred Years' War was a conflict between England and France, lasting 116 years from 1337 to 1453. It was fought primarily over claims by the English kings to the French throne and was punctuated by several brief peaces and two lasting ones before it finally ended in the expulsion of the English from France: a decisive French victory. Thus, the war was in fact a series of conflicts and is commonly divided into three or four phases: the Edwardian War (1337-1360), the Caroline War (1369-1389), the Lancastrian War (1415-1429), and the slow decline of English fortunes after the appearance of Joan of Arc. The term "Hundred Years' War" was given afterward.
The war owes its historical significance to a number of factors. Though primarily a dynastic conflict, the war gave impetus to ideas of French and English nationality. Militarily, it saw the introduction of new weapons and tactics, which eroded the older system of feudal armies dominated by heavy cavalry. The first standing armies in Western Europe since the time of the Western Roman Empire were introduced for the war, thus changing the role of the peasantry. For all this and simply its duration, it is often viewed as one of the most significant conflicts in the history of medieval warfare.

116 years.
It is generally agreed to have 'started' in 1337, with the naval battle of Sluys; and it finally ended in 1453 with a 'final' peace treaty (because Henry VI was starting to feel under rather a lot of pressure from his opponents at home ... and of course that all turned into the Wars of the Roses).

It was 116 years, but there were peace periods too, so it's only 81 years.
