A silver trophy in the shape of an American football—an elliptical shape with pointed ends—standing on a pedestal of the same metal.

The winning Super Bowl team receives the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The Super Bowl is an annual American football game that determines the champion of the National Football League (NFL). The contest is held in an American city that is chosen three to four years beforehand,^[1] usually in warm-weather or domed sites.^[2] Since 1971, the winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game has faced the winner of the National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game in the culmination of the NFL playoffs. Before the 1970 merger between the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL), the two leagues met in four such contests. The first two were known as the "AFL-NFL World Championship Game." Super Bowl III in 1969 was the first such game that carried the "Super Bowl" moniker, the names "Super Bowl I" and "Super Bowl II" were retroactively applied to the first two games.^[3] The NFC/NFL leads in Super Bowl wins with 25, while the AFC/AFL has won 21. Eighteen different franchises, including teams that relocated to another city, have won the Super Bowl.^[4]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with six championships (record 6–2), while both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers have five wins each (Cowboys 5–3; 49ers 5–1). Dallas and Pittsburgh have the most Super Bowl appearances with eight, while the Buffalo Bills have the most consecutive appearances with four losses in a row from 1991 to 1994. The New England Patriots, Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings have also lost a record four Super Bowls. Buffalo and Minnesota are both 0–4, Denver is 2–4 and New England is 3–4. The record for consecutive wins is two and is shared by seven franchises: the 1967-68 Green Bay Packers, the 1973-74 Miami Dolphins, the 1975-76 and 1979-80 Pittsburgh Steelers (the only team to accomplish this feat twice), the 1989-90 San Francisco 49ers, the 1993-94 Dallas Cowboys, the 1998-99 Denver Broncos, and the 2004-05 New England Patriots. Four current NFL teams have never appeared in a Super Bowl, including franchise relocations and renaming: the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans, though both the Browns and Lions had won NFL Championship games prior to the creation of the Super Bowl.

There have only been six times that the same franchises have met in multiple Super Bowls. The first was Super Bowl XIII, which featured a rematch of Super Bowl X, with the Pittsburgh Steelers beating the Dallas Cowboys in both contests. The two franchises would meet for a third time in Super Bowl XXX, with the Cowboys leaving victorious. The Washington Redskins avenged their loss in Super Bowl VII by defeating the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII. The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in both Super Bowl XVI and XXIII. The only back-to-back rematch came in Super Bowl XXVII and XXVIII, with the Dallas Cowboys defeating the Buffalo Bills in both contests. Most recently, Super Bowl XLVII featured the Baltimore Ravens defeating the San Francisco 49ers.

Teams with no Super Bowl appearances

Four current teams have never reached the Super Bowl. Two of them held NFL league championships prior to Super Bowl I in the 1966 NFL season:

Detroit Lions, NFL champions four times in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957; appeared in one other NFL Championship Game in 1954; and appeared in one NFC Championship Game in 1991^[63]
Cleveland Browns, NFL champions four times in 1950, 1954, 1955, and 1964; appeared in six other NFL championship games in 1951, 1952, 1953, 1957, 1968, and 1969; and appeared in three AFC Championship Games in 1986, 1987, and 1989^[64] (The Browns are officially viewed as one continuous franchise that began in 1946 as a member of the All-America Football Conference, joined the NFL in 1950, suspended operations from 1996–1998, and resumed play in 1999.^[65] The Baltimore Ravens were an expansion team created in 1996 with former Browns players.)^[66]
Jacksonville Jaguars, 1995 expansion team; appeared in two AFC Championship Games in 1996 and 1999^[67]
Houston Texans, 2002 expansion team; first NFL playoff appearance in 2011.

In addition, Detroit, Houston and Jacksonville have hosted Super Bowls; this means Cleveland is the only current NFL city that has neither hosted, nor had their team play in, a Super Bowl.

Teams with Super Bowl appearances but no victories

Ten teams have appeared in the Super Bowl without ever winning. In alphabetical order, they are:

Arizona Cardinals, appeared in Super Bowl XLIII. Their last championship was in 1947 when they were the Chicago Cardinals.
Atlanta Falcons, appeared in Super Bowl XXXIII. They have no pre-Super Bowl league championships.
Buffalo Bills, appeared in Super Bowls XXV, XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII. Their last AFL championship was in 1965.
Carolina Panthers, appeared in Super Bowl XXXVIII. They did not exist prior to the AFL-NFL merger, so have no pre-Super Bowl league championships.
Cincinnati Bengals, appeared in Super Bowls XVI and XXIII. They have no pre-Super Bowl league championships.
Minnesota Vikings, appeared in Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX, and XI. They were NFL champions in 1969, the last year before the AFL-NFL merger.
Philadelphia Eagles, appeared in Super Bowls XV and XXXIX. Their last championship was in 1960.
San Diego Chargers, appeared in Super Bowl XXIX. Their last AFL championship was in 1963.
Seattle Seahawks, appeared in Super Bowl XL. They did not exist prior to the AFL-NFL merger, so have no pre-Super Bowl league championships.
Tennessee Titans, appeared in Super Bowl XXXIV. Their last AFL championship was in 1961 when the team was the Houston Oilers.

Teams with long Super Bowl droughts

The following eight teams have appeared in the Super Bowl, but not since 1995, meaning their droughts are longer than Jacksonville's and Houston's.

Two of these teams have not appeared in the Super Bowl since the AFL–NFL merger in 1970:^[68]

New York Jets (most recently appeared in Super Bowl III in 1969)
Kansas City Chiefs (Super Bowl IV in 1970)

The most recent Super Bowl appearance for the following teams was after the AFL–NFL merger, but prior to the 1995 regular season:

Minnesota Vikings (Super Bowl XI in 1977)
Miami Dolphins (Super Bowl XIX in 1985)
Cincinnati Bengals (Super Bowl XXIII in 1989)
Washington Redskins (Super Bowl XXVI in 1992)
Buffalo Bills (Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994)
San Diego Chargers (Super Bowl XXIX in 1995)

Super Bowl rematches

The following teams have faced each other more than once in the Super Bowl:

Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers (3) - Super Bowls X and XIII were won by Pittsburgh, and Super Bowl XXX was won by Dallas.
Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins (2) - Super Bowl VII was won by Miami, and Super Bowl XVII was won by Washington.
Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers (2) - Super Bowls XVI and XXIII were both won by San Francisco.

 The [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] have won the most Super Bowls with six championships (record 6–2), while both the [[Dallas Cowboys]] and [[San Francisco 49ers]] have five wins each (Cowboys 5–3; 49ers 5–1).  Dallas and Pittsburgh have the most Super Bowl appearances with eight, while the [[Buffalo Bills]] have the most consecutive appearances with four losses in a row from 1991 to 1994.  The [[New England Patriots]], [[Denver Broncos]] and [[Minnesota Vikings]] have also lost a record four Super Bowls.  Buffalo and Minnesota are both 0–4, Denver is 2–4 and New England is 3–4.  The record for consecutive wins is two and is shared by seven franchises: the 1967-68 [[Green Bay Packers]], the 1973-74 [[Miami Dolphins]], the 1975-76 and 1979-80 Pittsburgh Steelers (the only team to accomplish this feat twice), the 1989-90 San Francisco 49ers, the 1993-94 Dallas Cowboys, the 1998-99 Denver Broncos, and the 2004-05 New England Patriots.   Four current NFL teams have never appeared in a Super Bowl, including franchise relocations and renaming: the [[Cleveland Browns]], [[Detroit Lions]], [[Jacksonville Jaguars]], and [[Houston Texans]], though both the Browns and Lions had won NFL Championship games prior to the creation of the Super Bowl.
-There have only been six times that the same franchises have met in multiple Super Bowls.  The first was [[Super Bowl XIII]], which featured a rematch of [[Super Bowl X]], with the Pittsburgh Steelers beating the Dallas Cowboys in both contests.  The two franchises would meet for a third time in [[Super Bowl XXX]], with the Cowboys leaving victorious.  The Washington Redskins avenged their loss in [[Super Bowl VII]] by defeating the Miami Dolphins in [[Super Bowl XVII]].  The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in both [[Super Bowl XVI]] and [[Super Bowl XXIII|XXIII]].  The only back-to-back rematch came in [[Super Bowl XXVII]] and [[Super Bowl XXVIII|XXVIII]], with the Dallas Cowboys defeating the Buffalo Bills in both contests.  Most recently, [[Super Bowl XLVI]] featured the New York Giants defeating the New England Patriots, the same result as when the two teams met in [[Super Bowl XLII]].
