The New York Mets’ founding in 1962 marked the return of National League baseball to NYC. Since then, the likes of Tom Seaver, Gary Carter, Dwight Gooden, and David Wright have all called Queens home at one point. If you’re wondering how many World Series titles belong to the New York Mets, we can help with that. Here’s a look at how many championships have been won by the Metropolitans.

How many World Series have the New York Mets won?

The Mets franchise has won two World Series titles. The first came in 1969, while the second was won in 1986.

After the Mets were founded in 1962, the Amazins’ began to accumulate talent that would become cornerstones of the franchise. Star pitchers Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman would debut a few seasons later, and become the foundation for the Mets’ playoff run in 1969.

That season, the Mets rolled through the summer of 1969 to win the NL East. The Mets would meet the Braves in the NLCS and beat Atlanta to move on to the franchise’s first World Series. New York would meet a juggernaut in the Orioles but would pull off the upset and win it all for the first time.

Four years later, the Mets would return to the World Series. New York (NL) won the NL East with just 82 wins in 1973 but beat out the Cardinals for the top spot. The Mets beat the Reds in a five-game NLCS to make it back to the Fall Classic.

This time around, the team from Queens would meet another powerhouse in the Oakland Athletics. New York, though, fell to the A’s in seven games, despite the fact the Mets were up 3-2 in the series.

Throughout the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, the Mets floundered in the NL East. New York finished with sub-.500 records every season from 1974-83, with the expection of 1975 & 1976. The Mets went into a massive rebuild in the late 1970s, highlighted by the Tom Seaver mega-trade to the Reds.

That period of time did allow for the Mets to re-stock the farm with the likes of Ron Darling, Dwight Gooden, Mookie Wilson, and Darryl Strawberry. Those players, coupled with the additions of veterans Gary Carter and Keith Hernandez, would form a nucleus that led the Mets back to the World Series in 1986.

New York met up with Boston in the 1986 World Series. In a seven-game series, the Mets came out on top and won the franchise’s second and most recent title to date.

The New York Mets would make the World Series two more times, in 2000 and 2015. The Mets would fall both times to the Yankees and Royals, respectively.

In the 2000 Subway Series, the Mets lost in five games to their rivals from The Bronx. The Mets made it back to the Fall Classic in 2015, 15 years after the franchise’s previous birth and nine after a stinging NLCS loss to the Cardinals in 2006.

But just like in 2000, the Mets fell in five games to the Royals.
