History in a Nutshell

  • The Packers are the last vestige of "small town teams" that were once common in the NFL during the 1920s and 1930s.
  • The Green Bay Packers have won twelve league championships (more than any other team in the NFL) including nine NFL Championships prior to the Super Bowl era and three Super Bowl victories in 1967 (Super Bowl I), 1968 (Super Bowl II) and 1996 (Super Bowl XXXI).
  • The team has a historic rivalry with the Chicago Bears, whom they have played in over 170 games. The Packers also share a fierce blood rivalry with the Minnesota Vikings, who also reside in the NFC North along with the Packers, and the Dallas Cowboys who have historically been known as the Packers' largest playoff rivals after the Packers defeated them in the famous Ice Bowl.
  • The Packers are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States.
