Dynasties in question

• Detroit Red Wings from 1995 to 2009. Although not officially listed by the NHL as a dynasty, the Red Wings won four Stanley Cups in eleven seasons and went to the Stanley Cup Finals six times in fourteen seasons. The Red Wings had the best team record during both the 1990s and 2000s, accumulating the most points of any franchise during each decade.

The Red Wings qualified for the playoffs in 25 consecutive seasons from 1991 through 2016.
• Chicago Blackhawks from 2009 to 2017 are also not officially listed by the NHL as a dynasty, but won three Stanley Cups in six seasons, as well as a Presidents Trophy in 2013 and acknowledgment by the NHL as their "Franchise of the Decade" for the 2010s.

• England national rugby union team 1991–2003, 7 Five/Six Nations Championships, four Grand Slams, 2003 World Cup. While England was the form team in Europe in the 1990s, they were unable to break through and win the World Cup until 2003, losing to Australia in the final of 1991 and failing to match the same performance in 1995 and 1999. Additionally, England struggled to beat the leading southern hemisphere sides, the Springboks and the New Zealand All Blacks until 2000 and 2002 respectively, with the team peaking from 2002 to early 2004, under the leadership of Clive Woodward, before a slow, long decline, foreshadowing the North–South divide in rugby that was to become the norm from the mid-2000s.
• San Francisco Giants: From 2010 to 2014. Led by manager Bruce Bochy, Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence. The Giants won three World Series championships in a 5-year span. They are only the second NL team ever, since the 1940s St. Louis Cardinals, to do so. However, despite winning three championships, some do not consider the Giants a dynasty because they did not win consecutive titles nor did they even make the playoffs in the years between. At the same time, official MLB material since 2022 has classified them as a dynasty with multiple outlets in years since 2014 calling them a dynasty.
• University of Southern California football, 2002–2005 – two consecutive AP national championships, appearance in the 2005 National Championship Game, seven straight Pac-10 titles, six major bowl wins in seven years, and maintained a 34-game winning streak from 2003 to 2005. However, USC was forced to vacate two wins from the 2004 season including the Orange Bowl win and BCS national Championship, all wins from the 2005 season, and the Pac-10 titles from both of those seasons as the result of rules violations involving star running back Reggie Bush.
• Washington Redskins from 1982 to 1991, led by head coach Joe Gibbs and with running back John Riggins and the Hogs, the Redskins made seven playoff appearances and won three of their four Super Bowl appearances over the course of a decade. However, once Gibbs retired, the Redskins never returned to a Super Bowl with their last appearance being Super Bowl XXVI and the most plausible reason why they weren't considered a dynasty at the time was due to the fact that they were overshadowed by the 49ers dynasty.
• Houston Astros: From 2017 to 2023. Under the ownership of Jim Crane and led by players such as Jose Altuve, Justin Verlander, and Alex Bregman, the Astros have won six AL West titles in seven seasons, played in the ALCS a record seven consecutive years, and won four AL pennants and two World Series titles. Although their high consistency within the American League has been noted, many baseball fans debate whether this team is a dynasty due to the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal, the team only having won two World Series titles separated by five seasons, and because only five players were on both championship teams.
• Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders: 1967–85. No NFL team enjoyed more consistent success than the Raiders during this span. During this 17-year run, the Raiders won 11 division titles, earned 15 playoff berths, captured one AFL title and three Super Bowls. The '76 Raiders captured the franchise's first Super Bowl after going 13–1 during the regular season. They then dismantled the defending two-time champion Steelers in the AFC title game before routing the Vikings in Super Bowl XI. Four years later, coach Tom Flores and quarterback Jim Plunkett helped the Raiders become the first franchise to win the Super Bowl as a wild-card team. The '83 Raiders, on the strength of running back Marcus Allen and cornerbacks Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes, held Washington's record-setting offense to just one touchdown in the Raiders' 38–9 win in Super Bowl XVIII.
