The prize for whoever triumphs between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LVIII will be to hoist up the Vince Lombardi Trophy and call themselves World Champions.
The iconic silver trophy is one of the most recognisable in all of sports and comes with a rich history.
Here is a look at the trophy and how it got its name.
Why is the Super Bowl Trophy called the Vince Lombardi Trophy?
The trophy is named after legendary former NFL head coach Vince Lombardi, who led the Green Bay Packers to wins in the first two Super Bowls.
What did Vince Lombardi achieve in his career?
Vince Lombardi is considered by many to be the greatest coach in NFL history.
Prior to winning Super Bowls I and II with the Packers in 1967 and 1968, Lombardi won three NFL titles and was twice named NFL Coach of the Year.
After nine years leading the Packers between 1959 to 1967, he finished his career with a season in charge at Washington in 1969.
What is the Vince Lombardi Trophy made out of?
Made by Tiffany & Co, the 56cm tall trophy weighs 3.2kg and is inscribed with ‘Vince Lombardi Trophy’, the Roman numerals of that year’s game and an NFL shield, with the details of the individual game added after the match. It is made of sterling silver.
When is the Vince Lombardi Trophy awarded?
The trophy is handed out by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to the owner of the Super Bowl's winning team on a stage that is constructed on the field following the final whistle.
Who has won the most Vince Lombardi Trophies?
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots have both won six Super Bowls, tying for the most in the competition’s history.
