New on SI: How Many Times Have the 49ers Won The Super Bowl?

San Francisco made the Super Bowl four times over a span of eight seasons.

The San Francisco 49ers are one quarter away from going to the Super Bowl in Miami, so long as they hang on to their lead over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game.

If the Niners win, this will be the seventh Super Bowl appearance for the franchise, four of which came during an eight-year stretch between the 1980s and '90s. 

The 49ers made their first Super Bowl appearance in 1982, when they beat the Bengals 26-21 behind a lethal Joe Montana-Jerry Rice combination. They used that partnership again in 1985 to beat the Dolphins 38-16 in Super Bowl XIX.

The 49ers then suffered three successive playoff losses in three seasons. But, before long, Rice and Montana were back at football's pinnacle again. In both the 1988 and '89 seasons, San Francisco coasted to the Super Bowl with an average playoff margin of victory of almost 26 points. The Niners took down the Bengals 20-16 in Super Bowl XXIII and the Broncos 55-0 in Super Bowl XXIV.

San Francisco's most recent Super Bowl came against the Ravens, which they lost 34-31 in what became known as the "Blackout Bowl."

All of the 49ers' Super Bowl appearances are listed below:

1982: Won 26-21 vs. Bengals
