List of sports dynasties

A sports dynasty is a team or individual that dominates their sport or league for an extended length of time. Some leagues maintain official lists of dynasties, often as part of a hall of fame (e.g., National Hockey League), but in many cases, whether a team has achieved a dynasty is subjective. This can result in frequent topic of debate among sports fans due to lack of consensus and agreement in the many different variables and criteria that fans may use to define a sports dynasty.

The most widely accepted sports dynasties are those with the majority of championships over a very long period of time, either consecutively and / or with interruptions, e.g. Antoni Bou's 21 consecutive World Trials Championships, or the Princeton University men's football team from the pre-NCAA football years of the 1890s (it was one of the two teams to play the first college football game) all the way until 1950, during which they won 28 national championships, or the Yale University men's football team, which won 27 recognized national football championships between 1872 and 1926.

A The Port Stephens Pythons in Australian limited-overs cricket have also forged their own Dynasty winning eleven Major Premierships from fifteen Grand Final appearances in their 19-year history in the top grade. They have even managed to secure "three-peat" premierships on three separate occasions.

From 1979 to 1991 still Olimpia Milano won 5 championship playing other 5 finals; it won other 2 EuroLeague in 1987 and 1988 and runner up in 1983. Olimpia won also the FIBA Intercontinental Cup in the 1987.

The problems inherent in identifying sports dynasties are exacerbated in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, where the national champion is determined, at least in part, by poll rather than through a tournament. These polls, however, are largely based on win-loss records, thereby relying on minimal subjectivity. When fans of a sport cannot agree on which team within a league or other organization should be considered as holding that organization's championship, discussing whether a team has become a dynasty is more difficult. Because of these problems, teams that consistently win their conference championship and are frequently in contention for national championships are termed dynasties more often than a similarly performing team in another sport or division might.
