The world's 100 most valuable sports franchises are all worth at least $2 billion, Sportico reported Wednesday.

As recently as 2010, there weren't any teams on the planet worth that much, according to the publication.

The top 100 clubs, based on Sportico's valuations over the past year, cover six sports and nine leagues globally.

The NFL's Dallas Cowboys lead the way at $10.32 billion, followed by the NBA's Golden State Warriors ($9.14B), New York Knicks ($8.3B) and Los Angeles Lakers ($8.07B) and MLB's New York Yankees ($7.93B).

The 100 teams on the list are collectively worth $470 billion, including their owners' team-related businesses and real estate. Forty-two teams are worth at least $5 billion, up from 22 last year.

All 32 NFL teams made the top 100, with the Cincinnati Bengals -- the least valuable team at $4.71 billion -- ranked at No. 52.

All 30 NBA franchises also made the cut, with the Memphis Grizzlies ($3.06B) bringing up the rear at No. 84.

The Toronto Maple Leafs lead the way among eight NHL clubs on the list at No. 70 with a valuation of $3.66 billion.

The most valuable clubs from outside of North America are two soccer powerhouses: the English Premier League's Manchester United ($6.2B) and the Spanish La Liga's Real Madrid ($6.06B) at Nos. 17 and 18.

The list also includes 15 MLB clubs, 10 soccer squads and five Formula 1 teams.
