It is one of the oldest and most important teams in Mexico. They maintain a fierce rivalry with teams from the National Polytechnic Institute (Spanish: Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, or IPN) particularly with its Miguel Hidalgo-based team from Santo Tom\u00e1s, \u00c1guilas Blancas.

In addition, American oil magnate Harry Ford Sinclair sponsored the team with generous donations until 1935. In the early years, Pumas had a long string of consecutive championships from 1933 to 1945 (including an appearance in the 1945 Sun Bowl; this was followed by the so-called “Golden Age” of 1946 to 1957. Between the years 1958 and 1969 the team consolidated its position within ONEFA, Mexico’s league of American football. For the period 1970\u20131980 the university authorities decided to disband the team and create three teams (C\u00f3ndores\/Condors; Aguilas Reales\/Royal Eagles; and Guerreros Aztecas\/Aztec Warriors), from 1981 to 1990 only the C\u00f3ndores could reclaim the tradition of the Pumas and win championships. In 1998, the University government decided to reduce to one team per campus and created Pumas CU and Acatlan. Unfortunately, conditions within the league and the existence of other powerful newcomer squads undermined the strength and dominance of the team. Its first position tradition vanished rapidly during the seasons of 1998 to 2007. From 1969 until 2002, the Pumas Dorados team consisted of a selection of the best players of all UNAM teams. These teams didn’t play any regular season games, but rather the Pumas Dorados used to play a Classic game against the Burros Blancos at the end of season, until 2002 when this event was suspended.Championships[edit]National championships[edit]SeasonHead coach1933Reginald Root1934Converse Killculler1935Dixie Howell1936Charlie B.

Pumas Dorados  currently represents  a selection of the best players of both Pumas teams and the last selection was made in 2002 and played against a selection of the best players of the IPN.
