    The
    Hamilton Tiger-Cats
    are a professional
    Canadian football
    team based in
    Hamilton, Ontario
    , Canada. They are currently members of the
    East Division
    of the
    Canadian Football League
    (CFL). The Tiger-Cats play their home games at
    Tim Hortons Field
    . They were founded in 1869 as the Hamilton Football Club (nickname "Tigers"). In 1950, the Tigers merged with cross-town upstart
    Hamilton Wildcats
    and adopted the nickname "Tiger-Cats".
    Since the 1950 merger, the team has won the
    Grey Cup
    championship eight times, most recently in
    1999
    . The Hamilton Tiger-Cats Football Club also recognizes all Grey Cups won by Hamilton-based teams as part of their history, which would bring their win total to 15 (the Hamilton Tigers with five, Hamilton Flying Wildcats with one and
    Hamilton Alerts
    also with one).
    However, the CFL does not recognize these wins under one franchise, rather as the individual franchises that won them.
    If one includes their historical lineage, Hamilton football clubs won league championships in every decade of the 20th century, a feat matched by only one other North American franchise in professional sports, the Triple-A
    Minor League Baseball
    team
    Rochester Red Wings
    of the
    International League
    . None of these three teams won a championship in the first two decades of the 21st century.
    In their first forty years of existence the Tiger-Cats qualified for the playoffs in all but three of those years and won seven Grey Cup championships. They are one of six teams in the modern era to win the
    Grey Cup at home
    and were the first to accomplish this when they did it in
    1972
    . However, since 1990, they have missed the playoffs on eleven occasions and have won just one
    Grey Cup
    in
    1999
    (and have the longest Grey Cup drought of both the current East Division teams and in all the CFL). Their lowest moment came when they lost a
    CFL record
    17 games in one season with just one win during their
    2003 season
    . The franchise has started to return to prominence after qualifying for the post-season in eight of the 10 years of the 2010s decade, including appearances in the
    101st
    ,
    102nd
    , and
    107th Grey Cups
    losing all 3 appearances.
