Honors
With 12 international and domestic honors, D.C. United has won more major competitions than any other Major League Soccer club, and the second most of any American or Canadian soccer franchise ever. D.C. United won their first major title in 1996, winning the 1996 MLS Cup championship. Since then, they have claimed three additional MLS Cups (league championship), four Supporters' Shields (league premiership), two U.S. Open Cups (national cup competition) and one CONCACAF Champions League title (continental championship). Of the original MLS franchises, New York is the only original franchise to have yet won its first major honor. While the Red Bulls have won two Conference regular season and one Conference postseason honor, the closest the club has achieved to a major title was making it to the U.S. Open Cup and MLS Cup finals in 2003 and 2008, respectively.
