The bitter rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and [[San Francisco 49ers]] has been going on since the 1970s.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Munoz |first=Michelle |date=August 27, 2009 |title=Cowboys-49ers: A Rivalry for the Ages |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/243616-cowboys-49ers-a-rivalry-for-the-ages |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131012084352/http://bleacherreport.com/articles/243616-cowboys-49ers-a-rivalry-for-the-ages |archive-date=October 12, 2013 |access-date=November 4, 2013 |website=Bleacher Report}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ninersnation.com/2010/5/16/1474508/the-greatest-rivalries-in-the-nfl#comments |title=The Greatest Rivalries in the NFL: 49ers-Cowboys |date=May 16, 2010 |publisher=Niners Nation |access-date=November 4, 2013 |archive-date=October 12, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131012040447/http://www.ninersnation.com/2010/5/16/1474508/the-greatest-rivalries-in-the-nfl#comments |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[NFL Top 10]] ranked this rivalry to be the tenth best in the history of the NFL. San Francisco has played Dallas in seven postseason games. The Cowboys defeated the 49ers in the 1970 and 1971 NFC Championship games, and again in the 1972 Divisional Playoff Game. The 1981 NFC Championship Game in San Francisco, which saw the 49ers' [[Joe Montana]] complete a game-winning pass to [[Dwight Clark]] in the final minute (now known as [[The Catch (American football)|The Catch]]) is one of the most famous games in NFL history. The rivalry became even more intense during the 1992–1994 seasons. San Francisco and Dallas faced each other in the NFC Championship Game three separate times. Dallas won the first two match-ups, and San Francisco won the third. In each of these pivotal match-ups, the game's victor went on to win the Super Bowl. Both the Cowboys and the 49ers are tied for third all-time in [[Super Bowl]] victories to the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] and New England Patriots, with five each. The 49ers-Cowboys rivalry is also part of the larger cultural rivalry between California and Texas. The 49ers lead the all-time series with a record of 20–19–1.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Matchups, San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi |access-date=2024-07-30 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en}}</ref>
