The Lombardi Trophy is awarded annually to the champion of the National Football League (NFL) during the Super Bowl. Named after legendary coach Vince Lombardi, the trophy is made of sterling silver and stands about 22 inches tall. It features a football in a kicking position atop a pedestal, symbolizing the ultimate achievement in professional football. The trophy was first awarded in 1967, following the first Super Bowl. Each year, the winning team’s name is engraved on the trophy, which is a symbol of excellence and a coveted prize for NFL teams.
