The Chicago Cubs are a professional baseball team based in Chicago and compete in Major League Baseball as a member of the National League Central Division. Founded in 1870 as the Chicago White Stockings, the club joined the National League as a charter member in 1876 and has been called the Cubs since 1903. They play at Wrigley Field, a National Historic Landmark on the city's North Side, and share the city with the Chicago White Sox of the American League. The 1906 team won 116 games for a modern-era record winning percentage of .763 and the club won back-to-back World Series in 1907 and 1908. The Cubs won the 2016 World Series, ending a 108-year championship drought, the longest in North American professional sports. Through 2026 the franchise has played more games than any other in MLB history.
