Cities with the Most Sports Championships
The following lists the cities that have the most sports championships. Many of the teams that may contribute to these statistics may no longer exist or may have moved to a different city. This currently includes the championships for baseball (MLB), basketball (NBA), football (CFL, NFL Championships and Super Bowl), and Hockey (NHL). New York has an obvious advantage in that it has had, and currently has, more sports teams than any other city in North America.
