<P> In the late 1970s and early 1980s , the Blue Jays went through struggles typical of an expansion team , frequently finishing in last place in its division . In 1983 , the team had its first winning season and two years later , they became division champions . From 1985 to 1993 , they were an AL East powerhouse , winning five division championships in nine seasons , including three consecutive from 1991 to 1993 . During that run , the team also became back - to - back World Series champions in 1992 and 1993 , led by a core group of award - winning All - Star players , including Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar , Joe Carter , John Olerud , and Devon White . The Blue Jays became the first ( and , to date , only ) team outside the US to appear in and win a World Series , and the fastest AL expansion team to do so , winning in its 16th year . After 1993 , the Blue Jays failed to qualify for the playoffs for 21 consecutive seasons , until clinching a playoff berth and division championship in 2015 . The team clinched a second consecutive playoff berth in 2016 , after securing an AL wild card position . Both years , the Jays won the AL Division Series but lost the AL Championship Series . </P>
