The '''National League pennant winner''' of a given [[Major League Baseball]] season is the team that wins the championship—the [[Pennant (sports)|pennant]]—of MLB's [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL). This team receives the [[Warren C. Giles Trophy]] and the right to play in the [[World Series]] against the champion of the [[American League]] (AL). The current NL pennant winners are the [[
The trophy is named for [[Warren Giles]], the league president from 1951 to 1969, and is presented immediately after each [[National League Championship Series|NL Championship Series]] (NLCS) by Warren's son [[Bill Giles (baseball)|Bill Giles]], the honorary league president and former owner of the [[Philadelphia Phillies]].<ref name="giles">{{cite web|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20081016__Fantastic_feeling__for_Bill_Giles.html|title='Fantastic feeling' for Bill Giles|last=Jensen|first=Mike|date=October 16, 2008|work=[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]|access-date=August 20, 2009|archive-date=October 19, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081019110033/http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20081016__Fantastic_feeling__for_Bill_Giles.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
From 1876 through 1968, the pennant was awarded to the team with the best regular-season record. Beginning in 1969, the league was divided into East and West divisions, with the champions of each playing for the pennant in the League Championship Series ([[NLCS]]). Since 1995, there have been three divisions and a two-round playoff bracket which begins with two Division Series ([[NLDS]]).
The pennant has been awarded every year since 1876, except for 1994, when a [[1994–95 Major League Baseball strike|players' strike]] forced the cancellation of the [[Major League Baseball postseason|postseason]].<ref name="brefpostseason">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/|title=Playoff and World Series Stats and Results|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=January 25, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100109123742/http://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/|archive-date=January 9, 2010|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="94strike">{{Cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/news/2002/08/25/1994_strike_victims_ap/|title=Season interrupted

There was an earlier "World's Championship Series" played between the pennant winners of the NL and the [[American Association (19th century)|American Association]] 1884–1890; from 1894 to 1897 the NL's first- and second-place teams played a postseason series for the [[Temple Cup]], which was considered to be the league championship. As of 2021, the Dodgers have the most modern-era World Series appearances at 21, followed by the San Francisco Giants with 20.
