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 [[Los Angeles Dodgers]], who beat out the [[Milwaukee Brewers]] to win the NL pennant in October 2025.

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|work=Sports Illustrated|date=August 26, 2002|access-date=January 2, 2010|archive-date=June 1, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090601233417/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/news/2002/08/25/1994_strike_victims_ap/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Until 1969, the pennant was presented to the team with the best [[winning percentage|win–loss record]] at the end of the season.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gillette|first=Gary|author2=Gammons, Peter |others=Palmer, Pete|title=The ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia|publisher=Sterling|year=2007|page=1723|isbn=978-1-4027-4771-7|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=62ntg9bMH4AC&q=national+league+pennant&pg=PT1723}}</ref> In 1969, the league split into two divisions,<ref>{{cite book|last=Koppett|first=Leonard|author2=Koppett, Dave |title=Koppett's concise history of major league baseball|publisher=Carroll & Graf|year=2004|page=300|isbn=0-7867-1286-4|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cjrbVkGAsHcC&q=major+league+baseball+split+divisions&pg=PA300}}</ref> and the teams with the best records in each division played one another in the NLCS to determine the pennant winner.

===Notes===
*{{note label|1981NL|a|a}} A mid-season labor stoppage split the season into two halves. The winner of the first half played the winner of the second half in each division in the [[1981 National League Division Series]]. The winners played in the 1981 NLCS for the National League pennant.<ref name="1981NL"/>
*{{note label|1995alignment|b|b}} The leagues were re-aligned in 1994 to three divisions and a wild card was added to the playoffs, but the labor stoppage cancelled the postseason. Wild cards were first used in the 1995 playoffs.<ref name="realign"/>
