Has Any NFL Team Won Back-To-Back Super Bowls?

The New England Patriots have the chance to make history by winning back-to-back Super Bowls. But has any NFL team ever accomplished this feat?

Introduction

Since the first Super Bowl was played in 1967, there have been 52 total games played. Of those 52 games, only eight different NFL teams have won. Of those eight teams, only three have won back-to-back Super Bowls. Those three teams are the Miami Dolphins, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the New England Patriots.

The Dolphins are the only team to have won consecutive Super Bowls in back-to-back years. They accomplished this feat in 1972 and 1973. The Steelers have won the most Super Bowls of any team with six total victories. They have also won back-to-back Super Bowls on two separate occasions. They first did it in 1975 and 1976 and then again in 1979 and 1980.

The New England Patriots have won five Super Bowls, the most of any team in the 21st century. They also are the only team to have won three consecutive Super Bowls, doing so from 2003 to 2005. However, they have never won back-to-back Super Bowls in consecutive years.

So, to answer the question posed in the title, yes, an NFL team has won back-to-back Super Bowls multiple times, but it has never been done in consecutive years by any team.

Super Bowl Winners

In the 52 years of the Super Bowl, only 13 teams have won the Lombardi Trophy. Of those, only 8 have won it multiple times. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl wins with 6. The New England Patriots have the second most wins with 5.

Green Bay Packers

Yes, the Green Bay Packers have won back-to-back Super Bowls. They first did it in 1967 and 1968, and then again in 1997 and 1998.

New York Giants

The New York Giants are a professional American football team based in the New York metropolitan area. The Giants compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) East division. The team plays its home games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which it shares with the New York Jets in a unique arrangement. The Giants hold their summer training camp at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center at the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

The Giants were one of five teams that joined the NFL in 1925, and are one of only two teams (the Green Bay Packers being the other) to have won multiple NFL Championships prior to the AFL–NFL merge in 1970.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won six Super Bowl titles, which is the most in NFL history. They have also appeared in more Super Bowls than any other team, with eight appearances. The Steelers have been led by some of the greatest players in NFL history, such as Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Mike Webster, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, Franco Harris, and mean Joe Greene. The Steelers have had many great coaches as well, including Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher.

New England Patriots

The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston area. The Patriots compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is located 28 miles (45 km) southwest of downtown Boston.

The Patriots have appeared in nine Super Bowls, winning six of them, most recently Super Bowl LIII in February 2019. They are also the only team to win five Super Bowls in a row (XXXVI–XXXV), and they currently hold the record for most consecutive division titles, with ten straight from 2009 to 2018.

Conclusion

No, no NFL team has ever won back-to-back Super Bowls. In fact, only eight teams have even made it to the Super Bowl in consecutive years. The last team to do so was the New England Patriots, who made it to three straight Super Bowls from 2016 to 2018 (and won two of them).
