The Indianapolis Colts are a professional American football team based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are currently champions of the Southern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL).

The team began play in 1953 as the Baltimore Colts. A previous Baltimore Colts team played between 1947-50. The original Colts team began play in 1946 as the Miami Seahawks, a member of the upstart All-America Football Conference. They relocated to Baltimore as the Colts in 1947, and joined the NFL in 1950 after the AAFC merged into the older league. However, the franchise folded after one NFL season. After fans in Baltimore protested, the NFL formed another Colts team for the 1953 season. While in Baltimore, the club won four NFL Championships, including one Super Bowl.

Prior to the 1984 season, the Colts moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis, highlighted by an infamous incident in which they packed all of their belongings into Mayflower Transit trucks in the middle of a snowy night on March 28. The move angered many Baltimore fans and former players so much that they completely disassociated themselves from the relocated Indianapolis team.

The Colts conduct summer training camp at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
