The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the National Football League’s most established franchises, as well as one of the most successful in the league. The Steelers were founded in 1933 by Art Rooney Sr., and are the fifth-oldest franchise in the NFL. The Steelers take pride in being one of only two teams in the NFL to have won six Super Bowl Championships. 

The Steelers soared to success in the 1970s under Hall of Fame Coach Chuck Noll, winning four of their Super Bowls during a six-year span. The team returned to that dominance in the 2000s, adding two more Super Bowls, one with Coach Bill Cowher and the sixth one under current Coach Mike Tomlin.

Consistency, loyalty and a commitment to success on the field and in the community have made the Steelers not just one of the most respected teams in the NFL, but also in all of professional sports.
