The Black Cats started their journey as a dominant presence on the pitch. Winning league titles in three consecutive years in the early times, the club was on its best track. In the 21st century, the club haven't won a major trophy yet. There are a total of 16 trophies in the Sunderland AFC trophies collection. Trophies are not just a forgotten memory for the club, even though in Sunderland trophy history, they've won just a few pieces of silverware. The last Sunderland trophies were the English second-tier championship in the 2004/05 and 2006/07 seasons. Some of the less prestigious Sunderland trophies include the English second-tier championship (five times), and the English third-tier championship and Football League Trophy. Sunderland have the right spirit to win as many trophies as they want in the future.
Sunderland major trophies include the FA Cup, English Super Cup, and English Championship. The club have won two FA Cups so far in the 1936/37 and 1972/73 seasons. Sunderland only tasted victory in the English Super Cup once in the 1936/37 season. The Black Cats achieved the English Championship title six times in the club's history. The manager, Tom Watson, and the captain, Johnny Campbell, played a key role in winning three Sunderland AFC trophies out of six in the English Championship. In the competition, the club defeated Everton and Preston North End twice. Sunderland trophies are a mirror that reflects the team's strong wish to experience success. It's been more than 50 years since the club won a major trophy, but the fans believe that their undying support and new team dynamics will make a change soon in Sunderland trophy history.
