San Jose Earthquakes has claimed 2 MLS Cups (2001, 2003), establishing the club as one of the most successful franchises in league history.
In MLS, championships are determined through the MLS Cup Playoffs, a postseason tournament held after the regular season. The Supporters' Shield is awarded to the team with the best regular-season record, while the MLS Cup goes to the playoff champion. Both trophies are highly coveted, and San Jose Earthquakes has been a consistent contender for both.
