Prior to 1967, there was only an NFL Championship between the division winners. When the American Football League agreed to merge with the NFL by 1970, the four interim inter-league games were called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. By the third game in 1969, the term Super Bowl had been adopted, and Super Bowl IV was the last of the interim AFL-NFL games. The names of the first two games were retroactively made Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II.
With the completion of the merger in 1970, Super Bowl V (1971) was played between the winners of the two newly-created conferences, the American and National conferences, roughly analogous to the two original leagues, but with some NFL teams having moved to the AFC, including the winners of the game, the Baltimore Colts (who had lost Super Bowl III representing the NFL).
