The latest three-peat in every major sport: Can the Dodgers join the club?

Replays in Major League Baseball are rare. In fact, before the Los Angeles Dodgers hoisted their second straight Commissioner’s Trophy on Saturday, no team had won back-to-back World Series titles since the New York Yankees at the turn of the century.

Now that the Dodgers have crossed that item off their agenda, they’ve turned their attention to an even bigger goal; the most desirable feat in all sports; three-peat.

If repetitions are difficult, then three-peats can also be described as grueling – just ask the Kansas City Chiefs, who hoped to join an exclusive club last year but fell short in Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Will the Dodgers suffer the same fate next year, or will they etch their name into the history books along with the other all-time great teams in sports? Let’s take a look at the last teams to achieve a three-peat in every major sport:

In the Yankees’ last true dynasty, the team won four titles in five years — with the three-peat wins coming in convincing fashion. Sweeping the San Diego Padres in 1998 and Atlanta Braves 1999 and then beating New York Mets in the 2000 subway series, like Derek JeterBernie Williams, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte cemented their places in Yankee history.

NFL: Green Bay Packers (1965-67)

No NFL team has made it three times in the Super Bowl era (1966 to present), but the Packers did, winning the NFL Finals Championship in 1965 and then the first two Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967. Near the end of Vince Lombardi’s reign as head coach, and Will Davis helped, Jayme Tay. Green Bay to three straight titles, including a pair of appearances in Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II. The Packers also went three-peat from 1929-31.

NASCAR: Jimmy Johnson (2006-10)

Johnson drove laps around everyone in the second half of the 2000s, winning 35 races from 2006-10 and six Cup Series championships in eight years. He finished his career with seven championships, tied with Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the most in NASCAR history.

college football: Minnesota Golden Gophers (1934-36)

The Golden Gophers have lost one game in their three-peat span (25-1) under head coach Bernie Bierman. Minnesota he won two more titles under Biermann in 1940 and 1941. The head coach was ordered to report to the Marine Corps during World War II, only to return as Minnesota’s head coach in 1945.

Men’s College Basketball: UCLA Bruins (1967-73)

Think some of the aforementioned runs were impressive? They don’t hold a candle to John Wooden UCLA teams of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In a period that saw the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton and Curtis Rowe, among many others, wearing a Bruins uniform, UCLA won titles in nine of 10 seasons.

Women’s College Basketball: UConn Huskies (2013-16)

The game of basketball has treated the UConn faithful well over the past decade. Losing a whopping five games over four years (151-5), the Huskies were an unstoppable force in women’s college basketball, an up-and-down boat racing team. Breanna Stewart, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Morgan Tuck they were part of what was arguably the golden age of UConn hoops.

Premier League: Manchester City (2021-24)

Before finishing third in the Premier League last season, Manchester City won four consecutive titles in England’s top division. Not just three-peat, but four-peat! In total, they have won six of the last 10 Premier League titles, all under legendary manager Pep Guardiola.

Champions League: Real Madrid (2016-18)

College Softball: Oklahoma (2021-24)

Another four-time player on this list, the Sooners lost just 15 games in their four-year stretch of dominance under coach Patty Gasso. Oklahoma won Texas and Florida State twice each to win their respective titles. They narrowly missed winning the five-peat last season, losing in the semi-finals.

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers (2000-02)

Phil Jackson retired after the 1998 season Chicago Bulls — until, of course, he became the head coach of the Lakers in 1999. Led by the star power of Shaquille O’Neal and a budding superstar named Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles won three straight titles, while Jackson actually won his sixth straight title as a coach, having won each of his last three seasons with Michael Peay, Cheek and Scott.

WNBA: Houston Comets (1997-2000)

The first four seasons of the WNBA were controlled by the Houston Comets, who won each of the first four league titles. As the Comets dominated the sport, Cynthia Cooper won two WNBA MVPs. Cooper and Tina Thompson went on to Hall of Fame careers, but the Comets disbanded as a franchise after the 2008 season.

NHL: New York Islanders (1980-83)

The pride of Long Island won their first Stanley Cup in the Islanders eighth season in the sport. In a run that featured Hall of Famers Brian Trottier, Mike Bossy, Clark Gillis and goaltender Billy Smith, the Islanders won the Stanley Cup in 1982 and 1983 and avoided a Game 7 in each of the four seasons. This race followed immediately after Montreal Canadiens also quadrupeds.

college baseball: USC Trojans (1970-74)

The Trojans baseball program was tremendous under manager Rod Dedo, winning five straight World Series thanks to the contributions of George Milke and Russ McQueen, among many others. To this day, the five-peat remains the NCAA baseball record, with the two most consecutive titles by any other team.

UFL: Birmingham Stallions (2022-2024)

The Stallions have been on a tear since the second iteration of the USFL was announced in 2022. Birmingham won two league championships as part of the USFL, as well as the inaugural UFL Championship Game in 2024 after the league merged with the XFL. Under the guidance of former NCAA football coach Skip Holtz, the Stallions compiled a 32-4 record in three yearsnever suffering more than two losses in one season.
