The Edmonton Eskimos are a professional Canadian football team based in Edmonton,

Alberta, competing in the West Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL). The
Eskimos play their home games at Commonwealth Stadium and are the third-youngest
franchise in the CFL. The Eskimos were founded in 1949, although there were clubs with the
name Edmonton Eskimos as early as 1895. The Eskimos are the most successful CFL
franchise of the modern era (1954) having won the league's Grey Cup championship fourteen
times, second overall only to the Toronto Argonauts who have won sixteen. This includes a
three-peat between 1954 and 1956 and an unmatched five consecutive wins between 1978
and 1982, and most recently in 2015.
The Eskimos hold a North American professional sports record by qualifying for the playoffs
for 34 consecutive years between 1972 and 2005.[1][2] Edmonton has had the most regular
season division championships in the modern era with 21, with their most recent coming in
2015. The team has a rivalry with the Calgary Stampeders and are one of the three
community owned teams currently operating in the CFL.
