Super Bowl rings are the official trophies awarded to the winning team of the NFL championship game each season. This guide explains what appears on a ring, how champions are recorded, and provides a verified year-by-year list of every Super Bowl winner and opponent through the most completed season.
What Is a Super Bowl Ring
A Super Bowl ring is an annual championship trophy for the winning team of the Super Bowl, the NFL title game. Each ring features the winning team’s name, the Super Bowl number or year, and the league logo. Variations in design exist by era, and teams may also earn commemorative rings for significant anniversaries, though the official title is awarded on the field only for that season’s champion.
How Super Bowl Rings Are Awarded
The ring is presented to the winning team after the Super Bowl concludes, representing one NFL championship per year. The design, size, and details are chosen by the franchise, often with input from the league. Multiple rings for a team reflect sustained excellence, while a single ring marks a unique championship season. Rings are distinct from conference championship trophies and are the ultimate accolade in the NFL.

Defining the Super Bowl Ring
The Super Bowl ring is the championship trophy awarded to players, coaches, and staff of the winning team. Each ring is customized by the franchise and typically includes the team name, Super Bowl number or year, the NFL logo, and sometimes additional gemstones or design elements. The ring serves as a physical symbol of the championship and is distinct from other league trophies such as the AFC and NFC championship trophies, which are awarded earlier in the postseason.
Historical Notes and Context
The first Super Bowl was played in 1967 following the 1966 regular season, and the championship tradition has continued annually since. Over time, ring designs have evolved, with some editions featuring multiple layers, rotating trophies, and unique materials. Multiple Super Bowl appearances do not guarantee wins, and some of the most storied franchises have faced more losses than victories in the championship game. Teams from the same franchise may have won in different decades under different rosters and coaches.
Notable Championship Trends
Certain eras and franchises have seen repeated success in the Super Bowl. The 1990s and 2000s featured dynasties from Dallas, New England, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco. Recent years have seen a new mix of champions, including expanded participation from teams across the league. The table above captures all Super Bowl results up to the most recently completed season, providing a snapshot of championship outcomes over time.
FAQs
Do teams get more than one ring per season
No. Each Super Bowl victory corresponds to one championship for that season. Teams do not receive additional rings for the same season; multiple rings reflect championships won in different seasons.
What counts as an official Super Bowl ring
An official ring is awarded to the winning team of the Super Bowl as recognized by the NFL. Anniversary or commemorative rings produced by teams for historical milestones are not the official championship trophy but may be distributed to honor past success.
Can a Super Bowl ring be shared across franchises
No. Each ring is awarded to the specific team that won that season’s Super Bowl. Players who move between teams do not carry a prior franchise’s ring into a new championship unless they win again with the new team.
Which franchise has the most Super Bowl rings
Through Super Bowl LVIII, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots each hold six Super Bowl championships, the most of any franchise.
