How Many Super Bowl Rings Does the Baltimore Ravens Have?
The Baltimore Ravens have won two Super Bowl championships in their franchise history: Super Bowl XXXIV (played in January 2001 for the 2000 season) and Super Bowl XLVII (played in February 2013 for the 2012 season). Each championship came with an official Super Bowl ring distributed to players, coaches, and staff.
The 2000 season victory under head coach Brian Billick remains the franchise's most dominant postseason run. The Ravens defense allowed just 165 passing yards per game during that playoff stretch, a standard that shaped Baltimore's defensive identity for decades. The 2012 championship, won under John Harbaugh in his second season, featured quarterback Joe Flacco's improbable playoff performance, later called "Flacco Time" by local media. That team finished 13-3 in the regular season before winning four consecutive playoff games.
What separates these two Ravens championships
The 34-year gap between rings reflects two distinct eras of the franchise. The 2000 team embodied the defensive blueprint that defined the Ravens through the early 2000s, with Hall of Famers Ray Lewis and Ed Reed anchoring a unit that opponents feared. The 2012 ring came during a transitional period when the Ravens shifted toward offensive firepower, culminating in that year's Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Each player's ring is customizable. The Ravens organization allows players to choose design elements and engravings, though the official Super Bowl ring design is set by the NFL and the winning team's organization. Players typically receive their rings at a home game celebration; the 2013 Ravens held their ring ceremony at M&T Bank Stadium on September 10, 2013, three months after their February victory.
Understanding Super Bowl ring distribution
Not every person on a championship roster receives an identical ring. The NFL allows each team to distribute a set number of rings (typically in the 150-160 range, depending on roster size and coaching staff). Teams decide internally who qualifies: all active roster players, coaches, front office staff, and sometimes equipment managers and scouts. Players who were on the roster during the season but traded away or injured during the playoffs may still receive a ring if the team votes to include them.
For the Ravens specifically, rings went to all players who appeared on the active roster during the 2000 and 2012 championship seasons, plus coaching and training staff. Injured reserve players like defensive end Terrell Suggs (who was recovering from an ACL injury in 2012) received rings through organizational discretion.
The monetary value of a Super Bowl ring varies. Official NFL Super Bowl rings contain real gold and diamonds, with production costs typically between $5,000 and $30,000 per ring depending on design complexity. The Ravens' two rings feature distinct designs reflecting their respective eras: the 2000 ring emphasizes the dominant defense, while the 2012 ring incorporates Flacco imagery and the team's modern logo.
Rings as franchise legacy in Baltimore
The Ravens' two championships place them in the middle tier of NFL franchises by ring count. The Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens' division rivals, have six Super Bowl rings. The New England Patriots won six during their 20-year dynasty. Comparatively, the Baltimore Colts (the franchise that relocated to Indianapolis in 1984) won three championships, though those rings are not counted as part of the current Ravens franchise history, since the Ravens began in 1996 as an expansion team.
Ravens fans often distinguish between the two championship eras when discussing team identity. The 2000 ring represents the franchise's first validation as an NFL power. The 2012 ring, coming 12 years later, proved the organization could sustain success across different roster compositions and coaching philosophies.
If you want to see these rings in person, the Ravens maintain a trophy display at M&T Bank Stadium during game days. The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio also features Ravens memorabilia from both championship seasons. Specific display schedules can be confirmed by contacting the Ravens' main office.
