The
Winnipeg Blue Bombers
are a professional
Canadian football
team based in
Winnipeg, Manitoba
and the current
Grey Cup
champions. The Blue Bombers compete in the
Canadian Football League
(CFL) as a member club of the league's
West division
. They play their home games at
IG Field
after many years of playing at the since demolished
Canad Inns Stadium
.
The Blue Bombers were founded in 1930 as the
Winnipeg Football Club
, which has always been the organization's legal name. Unlike most other professional teams in the four most popular North American team sports (but much more common in
soccer
, especially in Europe) the official legal name
Winnipeg Football Club
continues to see significant everyday use alongside its nickname, particularly in local media and especially when reporting on the club's business affairs. Another unique aspect to the club compared to other North American professional sports teams (but also more common in Europe) is that it is organized as a corporation without share capital, meaning no one person or entity "owns" the team - while there are two other "
community-owned
"
non-profit
professional football teams in the CFL and one in the
NFL
, unlike the Winnipeg Football Club they all have shareholders.
Since their establishment, the Blue Bombers have won the league's
Grey Cup
championship 11 times, most recently in
2019
when they defeated the
Hamilton Tiger-Cats
33–12 in the
107th Grey Cup
. The team holds the record for most Grey Cup appearances of any team (25) and were the first club not located in
Ontario
or
Quebec
to win a championship.
