On April 22, 1998, the WNBA announced they would add two expansion teams (Minnesota and theOrlando Miracle) for the 1999 season. The team was officially named the Minnesota Lynx on December 5, 1998. The league held their secondexpansion draft for the Lynx and theOrlando Miracle on April 6, 1999.[4][5] The Lynx started their inaugural season in 1999 with 12,122 fans in attendance to watch the first regular-season game against theDetroit Shock at Target Center. The Lynx defeated Detroit 68 – 51 in the franchise's first game. They finished their first season 15–17 overall and held the same record in 2000.
In 2001, the Lynx took a turn for the worse as they posted a 12–20 record.
The Lynx' first head coach,Brian Agler, was released during the 2002 season after compiling a 47–67 record in three-plus seasons.Heidi VanDerveer became the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. The team finished the 2002 season with a 10–22 record, worst in franchise history (until 2006).
In 2003, the Lynx hiredSuzie McConnell-Serio as head coach. She led the team to finish with a franchise-best 18–16 record and advanced to the WNBA Playoffs for the first time. They matched both of these feats in the 2004 season.
The 2005 season was one of transition for the franchise. Leading scorerKatie Smith was dealt to Detroit in July and the team stumbled down the stretch, missing the playoffs for the first time in three years. The poor finish did pay off however, as the team won the draft lottery and selected All-American guardSeimone Augustus ofLouisiana State University with the first overall pick in the2006 WNBA draft.
The Lynx began the 2006 season as the youngest team in theWNBA. On May 31, the team set the WNBA single-game scoring record (at the time), routing theLos Angeles Sparks by a score of 114–71. Despite this victory and with her team floundering to an 8–15 record, head coach McConnell-Serio resigned on July 23. She was replaced by assistantCarolyn Jenkins, who piloted the squad to a 2–9 finish. The team's 24 losses set a franchise record.
Following the season, Augustus was named the 2006WNBA Rookie of the Year. Her 21.9 points per game is still a WNBA rookie record. The 22-year-old was the second player in team history to win the award.
On December 13, 2006, the Lynx named veteranNBA assistantDon Zierden their fifth head coach.
In the2007 WNBA draft, the Lynx traded centerTangela Smith, whom they acquired in the dispersal draft from theCharlotte Sting, to thePhoenix Mercury for point guardLindsey Harding, who had been selected first overall.
The Lynx began the 2007 season 0–7, lost ten straight in July and failed to get into the playoff race. They finished tying a league-worst 10–24 record. On November 1, 2007, assistant coach and former head coach Carolyn Jenkins was named Director of Player Personnel of the WNBA.
The 2008 season started out much different for the Lynx than in previous years. They came flying out of the gates, going 7–1 in the first five weeks of the season. The Lynx then cooled off. They managed to play competitive basketball all season, but lost many key games down the stretch. The Lynx finished with a 16–18 record in a tough Western Conference where every team was in the playoff chase until the final week of the season. The Lynx however, did not qualify. After two consecutive 10–24 seasons, the 2008 Lynx was a step in the right direction.
In 2009, Zierden resigned just days before the start of the season.Jennifer Gillom who replacedTeresa Edwards as an assistant coach the previous year, was promoted to head coach. Another Zierden Lynx assistant, former NBA playerJim Petersen stayed with Gillom during the season, working with post playersCharde Houston andNicky Anosike. The Lynx saw similar results in 2008. They started with a good run (7–3), but lost many key games, including a six-game losing streak, and finished 14–20, out from the playoffs for the fifth straight season.
After five disappointing seasons, the off-season brought much more impact to the franchise. The team hired formerDetroit Shock assistant coachCheryl Reeve as their new head coach, parting ways withJennifer Gillom, who took the head coaching job of theLos Angeles Sparks. The Lynx also made some moves in the off-season by selectingRebekkah Brunson in theSacramento Monarchsdispersal draft, and trading their first overall pick of the2010 WNBA draft andRenee Montgomery to theConnecticut Sun for former Minnesota GopherLindsay Whalen and the second overall pick. They added free agentHamchétou Maïga to the lineup, and selectedUniversity of Virginia guardMonica Wright with the second pick in the 2010 Draft. With these off-season transactions, the Lynx looked forward to a much improved 2010 season, which was echoed by the eighth annual WNBA general manager poll – 45% of the general managers declared the Lynx the most-improved team as the 2010 season began.
The selection ofMaya Moore during the2011 WNBA draft led many people to believe the Lynx to be championship contenders for the 2011 season.[6] The team finally lived up to expectations in 2011, behind stellar play fromSeimone Augustus,Rebekkah Brunson, Moore, and Whalen, all of whom were named to the2011 Western Conference All-Star Team. The Lynx went into the All-Star break with a 10–4 record, good for first place in the conference.[7] After losing to Phoenix in a 112–105 contest at Target Center on July 13, the Lynx went on a nine-game winning streak, at the time a franchise record and the longest in the league for 2011. The team finished with a 27–7 record, best in the WNBA and in team history.
The Lynx earned the top overallseed in the2011 WNBA Playoffs. In the first round, they defeated theSan Antonio Silver Stars two-games-to-one in thebest of three series. The Lynx then swept thePhoenix Mercury in two games to win their firstconference championship.[8] In theFinals, the Lynx trailed at halftime in each game, but rallied each time to sweep theAtlanta Dream in three games, securing their first WNBA title, and the first professional championship for the state of Minnesota since the Minnesota Twins won the World Series in 1991.Seimone Augustus was namedFinals MVP.
In 2012, the team began the season 10–0, a franchise and league record.[9] They clinched a playoff berth on August 19, 2012, just 21 games into the season. The team fell to theIndiana Fever in the2012 WNBA Finals.[10]
The Lynx used both the loss in the Finals and prognosticators' pre-season focus on thePhoenix Mercury's new phenom,Brittney Griner, to motivate themselves for the2013 season. The Lynx once again had the best record in the West. They completed their comeback, sweeping through the playoffs en route to their secondchampionship in three years, once again defeating theAtlanta Dream.[11]Maya Moore, showing why she's now a superstar in the WNBA, won the 2013WNBA Finals MVP. In doing so, the Lynx became thesecond WNBA team and fifth major professional sports franchise to sweep through the postseason.[12]
In 2014, the Lynx again had a successful regular season, claiming the second best record in the league, second only to Griner and the Mercury.[13] However, in the playoffs, the Mercury bested them 2–1 in a three-game series, and the Lynx failed to make the finals for the first time since the 2010 season.[14]
In 2015, two-time Defensive Player of the YearSylvia Fowles of theChicago Sky held out of her contract until her wish was granted in July to play for Minnesota.[15] The Lynx would go on to win their third franchise title, all three of them in a five-year span dating back to 2011. Fowles proved herself to be a crucial addition, earning finals MVP honors.[16]
After winning the WNBA title in 2015, the Lynx qualified to the2016 WNBA Playoffs as the top seed with a franchise record 28–6 finish, only entering in the semi-finals to face the Phoenix Mercury. Due to the Target Center entering a renovation, the team moved to theXcel Energy Center inSaint Paul, where the Lynx played the 2017 regular season.[17] A sweep of the Mercury qualified the Lynx for their fifth finals in six years, with the adversary being the Los Angeles Sparks. The Lynx would not repeat their title, as the Sparks edged out the Lynx in a five-game series, eventually winning game 5 by 1 point.[18]
On August 18, 2017, the Lynx set two WNBA records in their 111–52 defeat of the Indiana Fever: largest margin of victory (59 points) and longest unanswered scoring run (37 consecutive points).[19] The Lynx finished as the top seed in the league, finishing 27–7. In the semi-finals, the Lynx defeated theWashington Mystics in a three-game sweep to advance to the WNBA Finals for the sixth time in seven years. The Lynx avenged 2016's Finals loss to the Sparks by defeating them in five games to win their fourth championship in seven seasons and tying the now-defunctHouston Comets for most WNBA championship titles.

In 2018, with back-up point guardRenee Montgomery leaving in free agency to sign with theAtlanta Dream and a now aging roster intact, the Lynx would start falling way short of championship contention. Although Moore, Fowles, Augustus and Brunson made All-Star appearances, the Lynx finished as the number 7 seed in the league with an 18–16 record. This was the first time in 8 years where the Lynx did not finish as a top 2 seed. Lindsay Whalen also announced her retirement prior to the playoffs. The Lynx started off their playoff run against the rival Los Angeles Sparks in the first round elimination game. They lost 75–68, ending their run of three consecutive Finals appearances, and it was Whalen's final career game.[20]
In 2019 and 2020, however, the Lynx would produce players that wonWNBA Rookie of the Year withNapheesa Collier andCrystal Dangerfield, respectively.[21][22]
Sylvia Fowles was the last of the Lynx's dynastic five starters (Augustus, Whalen, Moore, Brunson, and Fowles) to retire when she did so after the 2022 season.
Napheesa Collier became the new leader of the Lynx in her fifth season in the league when she returned for the 2023 season and was named the sole captain, the first time Reeve had done so while coaching the Lynx.[23] Reeve told Winsdr about the rebuild around Collier: "“Phee is the epitome of what we want to see. A selfless person, emotionally mature, and handles ups and downs in a way that’s just really impressive... We’re trying to make sure we’re giving her a team that she wants to play with and there’s a clear direction with our team and who we’re putting around her. That’s important to us.”[24]
With their June 11, 2024, win against the Las Vegas Aces in Vegas, the Lynx became the first WNBA team to have all five starting players each score 14+ points, 4+ rebounds, and 1+ 3 pointers.[25]
With a score of 94–89, the Lynx won the 2024 WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship against the Liberty in their June 25, 2024, game playing in New York.[26] Napheesa Collier was named the MVP for the championship.[27] Collier said Bridget Carleton deserved the award for her performance in the game.[27]
The team's 90–80 win against theIndiana Fever on August 24, 2024, clinched a playoff spot for the franchise.[28] The game set a record for the franchise single game regular season attendance with 19,023; this is the second best attendance for any Lynx home game overall, behind only Game 5 of the 2016 WNBA Finals (19,423).[28] The Lynx retiredMaya Moore's jersey in a ceremony after the game.
The home uniforms are white with blue and silver trim. The team jerseys bear the logo of the team's jersey sponsor, theMayo Clinic, in blue. The road uniforms are blue with silver and white trim and the sponsor logo written in silver. The Lynx previously used anAdidas uniform that was standard throughout the league, but the WNBA partnered withNike, Inc. for eight years beginning in 2018.[29][30] The Lynx are also one of 11 WNBA teams sponsored byVerizon, whose logo is also prominently featured on their uniforms.[31]
During the 2016 season, the white uniforms were temporarily replaced by a new silver uniform. This was part of a league-wide initiative for its 20th season, in which all games featured all-color uniform matchups.[32]
In 2021, the WNBA worked with Nike to redesign team uniforms. For the Lynx, this resulted in three versions, dubbed as Heroines, Explorers, and Rebels.[33] The Heroine version was white with blue and green stripes and blue numbers.[34] The Explorer uniform was blue with green and black trim and white numbers.[34] The Rebel edition was black with black stars, white and silver trim, and white numbers. The team was abbreviated to MINN on the front of this jersey, which was inspired by the adjacent legendary music club First Avenue.[34]
In 2023, the team unveiled updated Rebel versions of its uniform, which is black with green trim and white and green letters and numbers.[35] This design includes "Change starts with us" down the side of the jerseys and on the front of the shorts. This refers back to 2016 when the team wore warm ups with that phrase to call for social justice and protest the murders of two Black men by police.[35] The four stripes on the side of the uniforms represent the team's four championships.[36]
The Minnesota Lynx Foundation holds an annual "Catwalk for a Cure" event at theMall of America during theWNBA's Breast Health Awareness Week to raise funds for breast cancer related charities. The 2011 event was held Aug 5 and raised $5,000 forSusan G. Komen for the Cure.[37]
In 2012, the Lynx hosted the Catwalk for a Cure at theMall of America rotunda for the first time, occupying the largest staging area inside the country's biggest mall. In addition to displaying outfits, Lynx players ended the show with a dance based on the song "Background" byLecrae andAndy Mineo. The Lynx Foundation donated a $5,000 grant to the SAGE program, run by the Minnesota Department of Health.[38]
During theWNBA's 2013 Breast Health Awareness Week and in partnership with the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation, the Lynx game against the Indiana Fever on August 25 was a "Pink Out" game atTarget Center and on August 29, the 5th annual "Catwalk for a Cure" event was held at theMall of America.[39] The Lynx donated a $10,000 grant to the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation.[40]
