The San Francisco 49ers have won five out of their six Super Bowl appearances, which is an astonishing 83 percent success rate. Niner Noise takes a look at each of these Super Bowl appearances for the red and gold.

Only the Pittsburgh Steelers have won more Super Bowls (six), and only the Steelers, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots (all with nine appearances) have played in more games than the 49ers.

The 49ers legendary players have made their Super Bowl appearances live in history. From quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young, wide receivers Jerry Rice and John Taylor, running back Roger Craig, and defenders Charles Haley and Ronnie Lott, have all made their individual marks on nearly all of the 49ers Super Bowl games.

The 49ers set a bar of excellence that other franchises have struggled to reach.

The Niners of the 1980s were the team of the decade with four Super Bowl titles. No other franchise in the history of the league has a higher winning percentage than the 49ers.

The 49ers have been as an unstoppable force as there could be in the history of the Super Bowl.

For this list, each Super Bowl is ranked by:

  • Dominance
  • Excitement
  • Significance to the franchise

Human nature will appear in some cases because, well, we all have Super Bowl games that we find more memorable than others.
