Most Super Bowl Wins: List of NFL Teams with the Highest Number of Rings

The success of an NFL franchise is measured by a lot of things. None more so than the number of Super Bowl wins they have complied and how many rings are on their fingers.

This article takes a closer look at what teams have owned the record books.  Hopefully, it will help you decide which team’s odds to win the Super Bowl might actually be worth a wager.

Top Six Teams with the Most NFL Championships in Super Bowl Winner’s History

Below is a look at the franchises that have won four or more titles. As you can see it’s a pretty elusive list. There are just six teams that have been able to hold up the Lombardi Trophy on more than three occasions.

For those who don’t know, there are currently 32 teams that make up the NFL. To this day there have been 76 Super Bowls played. The most recent being the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

One thing the National Football League likes to claim it has is parity between the franchises. Well, that’s not exactly been the case. The six teams below make up less than 20% of the league. Yet they account for almost 53% (30 of the 57) of all of the pro football championships.

Pittsburgh Steelers (6)

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the most successful Super Bowl histories of any team in the NFL. Since their first Super Bowl appearance in 1975, the Steelers have gone on to win six Super Bowls, which is tied for the most of any franchise. They have also made a total of eight Super Bowl appearances, the second-most in NFL history.

The Steelers’ first Super Bowl appearance was in 1975 when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 16-6. This was the first of four Super Bowls the Steelers would win in the 1970s. They would go on to defeat the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl X (1976), the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl XIV (1979), and the Los Angeles Raiders in Super Bowl XVI (1981).

The Steelers’ next Super Bowl victory would come in 2005 when they defeated the Seattle Seahawks 21-10. They followed this up with another victory in 2008 when they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23. The Steelers then won their sixth Super Bowl in 2010, when they defeated the Green Bay Packers 31-25.

The Steelers are one of the most successful teams in NFL history, and their Super Bowl history is a testament to that. They have won six Super Bowls, and have made a total of eight appearances, the second-most in NFL history. No other team has been able to match the Steelers’ success in the Super Bowl.

New England Patriots (6)

The New England Patriots have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL since the turn of the century, winning six Super Bowl titles and appearing in three more. The Patriots have a long and storied history of success, beginning in 1960 when they joined the American Football League (AFL) and became one of the most dominant teams in the league.

The Patriots first Super Bowl victory came in 2001 when they defeated the St. Louis Rams 20-17 in Super Bowl XXXVI. The team was led by quarterback Tom Brady, who was in his second year in the league, and head coach Bill Belichick. The Patriots would go on to win two more Super Bowls in 2003 and 2004, with Brady being named MVP in both games.

In 2007, the Patriots returned to the Super Bowl and defeated the New York Giants 17-14 in Super Bowl XLII. The game is remembered for the famous “helmet catch” by Giants receiver David Tyree, who set up the game-winning touchdown.

The Patriots have also appeared in two more Super Bowls since 2007, losing both times to the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite these losses, the Patriots remain one of the most successful teams in NFL history and their Super Bowl history is one of the most impressive in the league.

Dallas Cowboys (5)

The Dallas Cowboys have a storied history of success in the NFL, but their Super Bowl history is especially impressive. Since their founding in 1960, the Cowboys have won five Super Bowls, which is tied for the second-most in NFL history.

The Cowboys first won a Super Bowl in 1971, defeating the Miami Dolphins 24-3. Quarterback Roger Staubach was named the MVP of the game, and the Cowboys were well on their way to becoming one of the most successful franchises in NFL history.

The Cowboys would then go on to win two more Super Bowls in the late 1970s, defeating the Denver Broncos 27-10 in Super Bowl XII and the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-31 in Super Bowl XIII. The Cowboys’ fourth Super Bowl victory came in 1992 when they defeated the Buffalo Bills 52-17. This victory was especially significant, as it marked the first time a team had won three Super Bowls in four years.

The Cowboys’ fifth and most recent Super Bowl victory came in 1995 when they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17. Quarterback Troy Aikman was named the MVP of the game.

The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most successful franchises in NFL history, and their five Super Bowl titles are a testament to their hard work and dedication.

The 49ers’ fifth Super Bowl victory came in 1994 when they defeated the San Diego Chargers 49-26. Quarterback Steve Young was named the MVP of the game, and the team was led by a dominant defense that included defensive tackle Bryant Young, safety Merton Hanks, and linebacker Ken Norton Jr.

Since the 1994 season, the Niners have been back to the Super Bowl twice, losing to the Ravens (31-34) in 2012 and the Chiefs (20-31) in 2019.
