Answering the core question
The St. Louis Rams won one Super Bowl as the St. Louis Rams. That is Super Bowl XXXIV in the 1999 season, played in January 2000, where they defeated the Tennessee Titans. The franchise has two total league championships: the 1999 title as the St. Louis Rams and an earlier championship in 1951 as the Los Angeles Rams, won before the Super Bowl era. No other Super Bowl victories occurred while the franchise was based in St. Louis or under the Rams name in Los Angeles prior to 1999.
Super Bowl XXXIV details
Season context and team performance
In the 1999 season, the Rams entered as a high-powered offense led by quarterback Kurt Warner, fresh from a remarkable late-season surge the previous year. They advanced through the playoffs with decisive wins, culminating in a matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. This was the franchise’s first and only Super Bowl appearance during the St. Louis era, securing their place in the city’s sports history. The game was played at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on January 30, 2000.
Final score summary and key plays
The Rams secured a 23–16 victory. The game is noted for The Tackle by Rams linebacker Mike Jones on Titans running back Eddie George on a critical fourth-down play near the goal line in the final minute, which helped seal the win. Quarterback Kurt Warner, despite limited prior starting experience, was named Super Bowl XXXIV MVP. The victory gave the St. Louis Rams their first—and only—Super Bowl championship as the St. Louis franchise. No subsequent Super Bowl wins occurred for the franchise while named the St. Louis Rams.

Championship context through franchise history
It is important to distinguish between pre-Super Bowl league championships and Super Bowl wins. The Rams organization recognizes two championships: the 1951 NFL championship (won as the Los Angeles Rams) and the 1999 Super Bowl XXXIV (as the St. Louis Rams). All Super Bowl wins are counted among the franchise’s total championships, but only the 1999 title is relevant to the specific question of how many Super Bowls the St. Louis Rams won. The 1951 title occurred before the merger and the creation of the Super Bowl, so it is not counted as a Super Bowl victory.
Comparison of Rams championships
The franchise’s championships are spaced across different eras and cities, illustrating a legacy built in multiple locations rather than multiple Super Bowl wins in one city.
- 1951: Los Angeles Rams win the NFL championship (pre-Super Bowl era)
- 1999: St. Louis Rams win Super Bowl XXXIV
Clarifying common miscounts
Some sources may conflate the franchise’s two total championships into a single count or mistakenly suggest multiple Super Bowl wins for St. Louis. The record is clear: one Super Bowl victory, achieved in the 1999 season. The Rams relocated to St. Louis after the 1994 season and played there through the 2015 season before moving back to Los Angeles, but no additional Super Bowl wins were earned during that period.
Legacy and significance
Winning Super Bowl XXXIV remains the defining championship moment for the Rams in St. Louis and continues to resonate in fan memory. The victory encapsulated the high-flying offense of the era and Kurt Warner’s improbable rise to stardom. While the franchise has not added to its championship total since, Super Bowl XXXIV stands as the sole Super Bowl triumph in the history of the St. Louis Rams, confirming a single, lasting achievement rather than a repeated championship run.
Takeaway
In summary: the St. Louis Rams won one Super Bowl—Super Bowl XXXIV in the 1999 season—defeating the Tennessee Titans. This is their only Super Bowl championship as the St. Louis Rams, and it remains the franchise’s only Super Bowl-level title in any city under the Rams name since the merger. The core answer is one confirmed Super Bowl win, supported by clear league records and historical context.
