The 1937 Stanley Cup Finals was contested by the defending champion Detroit Red Wings and the New York Rangers in their fifth Finals series appearance. Detroit would win the series 3–2 to win their second and second-straight Stanley Cup.
Detroit defeated Montreal Canadiens in a best-of-five 3–2 to advance to the Finals. The Rangers had to play two best-of three series; winning 2–0 against Toronto Maple Leafs, and 2–0 against the Montreal Maroons to advance to the Finals.
The Wings became the first U.S.-based team to win the Stanley Cup two years in a row, and the third NHL team (after the 1920-21 Ottawa Senators and 1930-31 Montreal Canadiens) to repeat since the league's founding in 1917.
The 1937 Stanley Cup was presented to Red Wings captain Doug Young by NHL President Frank Calder following the Red Wings 3–0 win over the Rangers in game five.
