San Francisco 49ers started in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and joined the NFL in 1949 when the leagues merged. At the time, they were the first major league professional sports franchise to be based in San Francisco and are the 10th oldest NFL franchise.
The name '49ers' originates from the original prospectors who arrived in Northern California during the 1849 Gold Rush.
They have won 5 Super Bowls between 1981-1994 and have played in a total of 7 Super Bowl and ranked 3rd all time in the NFL. The team is valued at $3.05bn and the 16th most valuable sports team in the world behind baseball's Chicago Cubs and above soccer's Bayern Munich (Germany).
