The frequency of total penumbral lunar eclipses varies by century with the frequency of total umbral eclipses.

A total penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the moon becomes completely immersed in the penumbral cone of the earth without touching the umbra. This occurs in a relatively small fraction of lunar eclipses, and the distribution of these events is uneven, occurring between 0 and 9 times per century.

This is a complete list of total penumbral lunar eclipses, grouped by century, from 1601-2500:
