After a quick Wiki comparison, it appear that this has happened 4 times through 2008: the 1970 Orioles with the Colts winning the Super Bowl in January, 1971; The '79 Pirates with the Steelers winning both the '79 and '80 super bowls; the '86 Mets with the Giants winning the January, 1987 Super Bowl, and the 2004 Red Sox with the Patriots winning the February, '05 super bowl. There were also 2 close calls: the '80 Phillies with the Eagles losing the Jan '81 super bowl, and in 1989 the A's defeated the Giants across the bay in the World Series, and the '49ers won the January, 1990 super Bowl.

I will answer this two ways: 1) The first city to have a team win a Super Bowl and a World Series in the same calender year was New York. The New York Jets won Super Bowl III, played January 12, 1969 and the New York Mets won the 1969 World Series. 2) The first city to have a team win a Super Bowl and World Series in each sport's respective season was Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Pirates won the 1979 World Series and the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl played for the 1979 season, that being Super Bowl XIV played on January 20, 1980. The New England Patriots and the Boston Red Soxs both won their respective championships in 2004 being the first to do so.
