They last won the Grey Cup in back-to-back seasons, with a win in 2021. They were founded in 1930. Though Winnipeg played Hamilton for the Grey Cup on numerous occasions before the division lines were enforced for the playoffs, their main rival is actually Saskatchewan, regardless of divisional alignment. The Bombers are the team the CFL traditionally uses to balance divisions -- if there are four other Eastern teams, Winnipeg goes back to its traditional roots in the Western Division. When the East is down to three teams (during one of Montreal or Ottawa's hiatuses), Winnipeg moves to the East. The Bombers have played for the Grey Cup 28 times, the most of any Canadian football team, amateur or professional, are the third most-decorated team with 12 wins, and are the first team based outside of Ontario or Quebec to win the Grey Cup.
