Despite the team's lack of success over the better part of the last two decades, the Dallas Cowboys still remain one of the NFL's most heralded and historic franchises. Often referred to as “America's Team,” the Cowboys managed to sustain quite a bit of success — and most importantly Super Bowl wins — throughout both the 1970s and 1990s, though most of the younger generations of professional football fans wouldn't associate Dallas with such prominence.

Nonetheless, the Cowboys have won a whopping five Super Bowl titles over the years with championships coming to Dallas in 1971-72, 1977-78, 1992-93, 1993-94 and 1995-96. With the ever-popular NFC East franchise winning a handful of titles, tied for second place on the all-time list alongside the San Francisco 49ers and just behind both the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers as each team has earned six such victories, it is pretty easy to see which five teams are the best in the history of the Cowboys organization.

Although it remains to be seen as to when exactly Dallas' sixth championship will ultimately come along, reminiscing about the past will have to suffice for the time being — unfortunately for Cowboys fans throughout the globe.

1971-1972

It did not take long into the 1970s for the Dallas Cowboys to win the team's first of two Super Bowl titles during this decade. As a result of the 1971-1972 season, the Cowboys captured the franchise's first-ever title by way of an 11-3 regular season record before going on to defeat both the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys, who only gave up a total of 18 points that postseason, then dominated the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VI by the score of 24-3. It is also worth noting that the Cowboys became the first team from the NFC to win a Super Bowl following the 1970 merger of the National Football League and American Football League.

1977-78

The 1977-78 Dallas Cowboys finished the regular season with a stellar 12-2 record while going on to absolutely manhandle every team that it faced over the course of the postseason. First up was the Chicago Bears, who the Cowboys dismantled by the score of 37-7, while Dallas then went on to beat the Minnesota Vikings by the score of 23-6 in the NFC Championship Game. It was no different for the surging Cowboys come Super Bowl XII as Dallas routed the Denver Broncos in impressive fashion, 27-10. Just like in 1971-72, the Cowboys also finished the regular season atop the NFC East division before going on to capture the organization's second Super Bowl title.

1992-93

In 1992-93, the Dallas Cowboys broke a nearly two-decade-long streak by winning the franchise's third Super Bowl title. Once again, though, the Cowboys managed to do so in dominant fashion while going on an absolute tear throughout both the regular season and playoffs. The 13-3 Cowboys initially beat the arch rival Philadelphia Eagles by the score of 34-10 before going on to defeat the San Francisco 49ers, 30-20, in the NFC Championship Game. However, the most impressive feat of them all came as a result of Super Bowl XXVII as the Cowboys absolutely trampled the Buffalo Bills by the score of 52-17.

1993-94

Winning back-to-back Super Bowl titles for the first time in franchise history, the Dallas Cowboys officially created what would become quite the memorable dynasty of the 1990s. Following a stellar 12-4 regular season effort, the Cowboys once again defeated the Buffalo Bills en route to a fourth Lombardi Trophy. Prior to defeating the Bills by the score of 30-13 in Super Bowl XXVIII, the Cowboys set aside the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers, respectively. Continuing the team's multi-season dominance, the Cowboys won every playoff game in 1993-94 y a double-digit margin.

1995-96

After a few years removed from the glory days of the early 1990s, the Dallas Cowboys were at it yet again in 1995-96. Little did the football world know that it would be quite some time until Dallas once again reached the promised land of a Super Bowl victory after winning a fifth title, the 12-4 Cowboys ran through the rival Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers to officially capture the crown that was Super Bowl XXX. A familiar trend at this point for Dallas, the Cowboys won all three of the team's postseason games — including Super Bowl XXX — by at least 10 points. Not only that, but the Cowboys scored at least 27 points as a result of all three wins while even scoring at least 30 points in two of those games with Super Bowl XXX win over the aforementioned Steelers serving as the only exception.
