In [[sport]]s, a '''dynasty''' is a team or individual that dominates their sport or league for an extended length of time. Some leagues usually maintain official lists of dynasties,{{citation needed|date=February 2024}} often as part of a [[hall of fame]],{{citation needed|date=February 2024}} but in many cases, whether a team or individual has achieved a dynasty is [[subjectivity|subjective]]. This can result in frequent topic of debate among sports [[Fan (person)|fans]] due to lack of [[Consensus decision-making|consensus]] and agreement in the many different variables and criteria that fans may use to define a sports dynasty.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Frank|first1=Vincent|title=Start Of A Golden State Warriors Dynasty?

====Brazilian Campeonato Brasileiro==== |
|||
* [[Santos FC|Santos]] of the late 1955–1969.

* [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] between 1972 and 1990.

This dominance was extended to the European stage, beginning in [[1972–73 UEFA Cup|1972–73]] when the club won the second-tier [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]]. Further success in this competition arrived in [[1975–76 UEFA Cup|1975–76]], before Liverpool embarked on a run of four top-tier [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] wins between [[1976–77 European Cup|1976–77]] and [[1983–84 European Cup|1983–84]]. No other English club has achieved such success in the premier European club competition since then.

After six seasons of [[Alex Ferguson|Sir Alex Ferguson]] rebuilding the club, the team won the first-ever Premier League title, which was also their eighth top-tier league title. This victory was only the beginning of dominance, as the club won the league title twelve more times, setting a new English record of 20 top-tier titles. Manchester United also lifted the FA Cup during this period with victories in [[1993–94 FA Cup|1993–94]], [[1995–96 FA Cup|1995–96]], [[1998–99 FA Cup|1998–99]] and [[2003–04 FA Cup|2003–04]]. Furthermore, United became the Champions of Europe twice during that time span, as well as reaching a further two finals. They won the Champions League in [[1998–99 UEFA Champions League|1998–99]] (completing the ''[[Treble (association football)|treble]]'' of [[1998–99 Premier League|league title]], FA Cup and European Cup) and [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League|2007–08]].

|||
* [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] had a period of continued success and domination from [[1997–98 FA Premier League|1997-98]] to [[2005–06 FA Premier League|2005–06]].

Additionally, they have won two FA Cups and six league cups in that time span. City's dominion of the league strengthened since [[Pep Guardiola]] took charge of the team in 2016; they won five of the last six titles, including a three-in-a-row sequence. Guardiola also guided them to ''[[Treble (association football)|the treble]]'', winning the [[2022-23 Premier League|league]], [[2022-23 FA Cup|FA Cup]] and their maiden [[2022-23 Champions League|Champions League]], also becoming just the second English team to accomplish the feat.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-14 |title=Are Man City the greatest Premier League dynasty?

====NCAA Football==== |

=====Football Bowl Subdivision (Formerly I-A)===== |
|||
{{see also|Mythical national championship}} |
|||
The problems inherent in identifying sports dynasties are exacerbated in [[NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision]], where the national champion is determined, at least in part, by poll rather than through a tournament. These polls, however, are largely based on win–loss records, thereby relying on minimal subjectivity. When fans of a sport cannot agree on which team within a league or other organization should be considered as holding that organization's championship, discussing whether a team has become a dynasty is more difficult. Because of these problems, teams that consistently win their conference championship and are frequently in contention for national championships are termed dynasties more often than a similarly performing team in another sport or division might. |

Most disputes about dynasties relate to teams that dominated within a conference or division, but either failed to win championships or infrequently won championships. This is exacerbated in [[NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision]] (formerly Division I-A), where the national champion is determined, at least in part, by poll rather than through a tournament. |

* [[San Francisco Giants]]: From [[2010 San Francisco Giants season|2010]] to [[2014 San Francisco Giants season|2014]]. Led by manager [[Bruce Bochy]], [[Buster Posey]], [[Madison Bumgarner]], [[Pablo Sandoval]] and [[Hunter Pence]]. The Giants won three World Series Championships in a 5-year span ([[2010 World Series|2010]], [[2012 World Series|2012]], and [[2014 World Series|2014]]). They are only the second NL team ever, since the 1940s [[St. Louis Cardinals]], to do so. However, despite winning three championships, some do not consider the Giants a dynasty because they did not win consecutive titles nor did they even make the playoffs in the years between (2011 and 2013, the latter of which had them post a losing record).<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://time.com/3547449/san-francisco-giants-world-series-madison-bumgarner/|title=Dynasty!

In sports, a dynasty denotes a team or individual that dominated their sport or league for an extended period. The use of the term to characterize such prolonged success emerged in the early 20th century.[1]
The determination of whether a team or individual has achieved a dynasty is subjective. This results in debate among sports fans due to a lack of consensus and agreement on the different variables and criteria that could be used to define a dynasty.[2][3][4]

One of the most subjective discussions we come across around the sports world is what defines a dynasty. It's a definition that will never come to pass, and will always be left up for interpretation.

It's a subjective term with no rules, so there's bound to be argument about it.
