No. The Bears and Cardinals are the oldest NFL teams, having been charter members of the NFL when it was founded in 1920. The Cardinals were playing in Chicago in 1920. The oldest NFL team is the Cardinals, who were founded in 1898. The Packers were founded in 1919 and joined the NFL in 1921.
The oldest current teams in professional gridiron football are members of the CFL. Technically the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are the oldest with team history dating back to 1869. However at the time they were known as the Hamilton Tigers. The current team is a result of a merging of the Tigers and the Hamilton Wildcats in 1950. Because of this merger, some debate that the Toronto Argonauts are the oldest pro-gridiron football team with direct team origins back to 1873.
Football is what the rest of the world calls soccer. If that's what you're referring to, then you're looking for Sheffield, of the Northern Premier League, which has been around since 1857.
They play a completely different style of football in Australia. Melbourne Demons were founded in 1859 and were also the first team in the Australian Football League.
Answer One addendum to the above: The Toronto Argonauts are arguably the oldest football team in North America, having been founded in 1873. The Tiger-Cats franchise actually dates only to 1950; the team is a merger of two earlier Hamilton teams, one of which does date to 1869.
The Decatur Staleys (now the Chicago Bears) and the Chicago Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals), are founding members. The Green Bay Packers, founded 1919 and who joined the NFL in 1921, is the oldest NFL franchise in continuous operation with the same name in the same location.
No, the Arizona Cardinals are. The Cardinals began as an amateur club in Chicago in 1898. They disbanded in 1906 only to reform in 1913. They are one of two teams that played in the NFL's first season (1920) that are playing today and were known as the Chicago Cardinals. (The Chicago Bears are the other; in 1920 they were known as the Decatur Staleys.) The Packers were founded in 1919 and joined the NFL in 1921.
