What is the name of the AFC championship trophy?

The AFC championship trophy is called the Lamar Hunt Trophy.

It is awarded to the winner of the AFC Championship Game, the NFL playoff game that determines the AFC representative in the Super Bowl. The trophy honors Lamar Hunt, who founded the American Football League and established the Kansas City Chiefs franchise.

The AFC and NFC were created when the AFL and NFL merger took effect in 1970. Since the 1984–85 playoffs, the AFC champion has received the Lamar Hunt Trophy. Its NFC counterpart is the George Halas Trophy, named for the Chicago Bears founder and longtime owner.

The trophy's original design featured a wooden base, an AFC emblem, and sculpted football imagery. In 2010, the NFL introduced redesigned conference championship trophies made by Tiffany & Co. The newer silver design features a hollow football shape on a base, giving it a visual relationship to the Vince Lombardi Trophy awarded at the Super Bowl. The Lamar Hunt Trophy is therefore a conference championship award, not the league championship trophy.
