The Oakland Raiders are a professional American football team in based in the city of Oakland, California. They currently play in the Western Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Raiders began play in the American Football League (AFL) in 1960 and joined the NFL in the AFL–NFL merger of 1970.
The Raiders were formed in 1960, taking a spot in the newly formed AFL that had been vacated when the yet-unnamed Minneapolis franchise accepted an offer to join the established NFL instead of the AFL. The city of Oakland was granted their position in the league and inherited their inaugural draft selections. The Raiders began play in 1960 American Football League season. In 1982 the team relocated to Los Angeles, becoming the Los Angeles Raiders. They returned to Oakland in 1995 and resumed their previous name.
During their first three seasons, the Raiders struggled both on and off the field. In 1963, Al Davis was brought to the team as head coach and general manager, and from 1963 until 2002 the team had only seven losing seasons. As members of the AFL they won one league championship (1967), three division titles (1967, 1968, 1969), and appeared in one Super Bowl (II). The team joined the NFL in 1970 as part of the AFL–NFL merger. Since joining the NFL, the Raiders have won twelve division titles, three Super Bowls (XI, XV, XVIII), and appeared in one other Super Bowl (XXXVII). Thirteen former players have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. |
