The Canadian Football League season culminates with the Grey Cup, the game in which the league champion is decided.

The CFL will be in its 66th year in 2024.

However, football has a much longer history than that in Canada, with the Grey Cup running since the early 1900s.

Here is a look at the history of the Grey Cup, alongside a look ahead to the sides who are aiming to lift the trophy later this year.

How many times has the Grey Cup taken place?

Most Grey Cup wins

The Toronto Argonauts are the Grey Cup’s most successful side, having lifted the trophy on 18 occasions. They’ve played in the Grey Cup a total of 24 times, winning their first title in 1914.

The Argonauts were the first team to win the Grey Cup 10 times when they lifted it in 1952, but their success slowed before a recent resurgence, lifting the trophy in 2012, 2017 and 2022.

Behind them are the Edmonton Elks, who have 14 wins but they haven’t taken the title since 2015. The Winnipeg Bluebombers have lost 15 of their 27 Grey Cup appearances, but they’re still the third-most successful team in its history.

All of the nine current CFL teams have won the Grey Cup at least once, with the Ottawa Redbacks the least successful of the bunch, having been to only three Grey Cups, winning once in 2016.
