It depends on how you got the green card and how long you have actually been in the country and some other facts.

Basically you are eligible to apply for naturalization after being a legal permanent resident )having a green card) for five years.

Should you have become a LPR by marrying an American citizen you may be eligible already after 3 years.

Also you must not have been outside of the U.S. too long in those years, otherwise they don't count. They begin to count the moment you actually became a legal permanent resident (more or less the day you actually received the green card), not the moment you applied for the green card or the moment the status was approved.
