The following are the number of championships won by North American cities -non-exhaustive. Canadian totals include the CFL. For U.S. football clubs totals include titles from various leagues prior to amalgamation into the present day NFL. Minimum 15 titles was arbitrarily chosen. However, I decided to include some select cities below that mark. For baseball, I have not included League Champions. Though I feel they are just as important I have decided to leave them out. I may add them somewhere down the line. I would not mind as it will add one total to Montreal with the Expos of '81. It will also inflate some numbers for cities like Atlanta given the run the Braves have had in the 90s.

Cities that have at least one of NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and CFL made the cut. Last, this is a list by city and not franchise. For example, Detroit has 3 NBA titles won while in Detroit but the Pistons franchise has 5 pro titles which include 2 NBL's which do not count.

*For basketball all are NBA titles unless specified otherwise. NBL, ABA etc.

*For hockey all are Stanley Cup titles. Since there was no other trophy it was not necessary to specify next to number of titles won for respective cities. Same for baseball and World Series champions.
