The Major League Soccer Supporters' Shield is an annual award given to the Major League Soccer team with the best regular season record, as determined by the MLS points system. Akin to the Australasian A-League's premiership, and similar to the President's Trophy of the NHL, the Supporters' Shield has been annually awarded at the MLS Supporters' Summit since 1999, and has been recognized as a major trophy by the league. Since 2006, the Supporters' Shield winner has earned a berth in North America's continental club championship, now known as the CONCACAF Champions League.
With four regular season titles, D.C. United has won the most league premierships of any MLS club. The current defending premiers are the Los Angeles Galaxy.
