New York Americans (soccer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New York Americans were an American soccer club based in New York, New York that was an inaugural member of the professional American Soccer League. The club joined the ASL before the fall 1931 season.

After the disintegration of the original ASL following the 1933 spring season, the Americans and New York Brookhattan of the old league helped form a new, but lower professional level, ASL in 1933/34.

Just before the 1956/57 season, the club merged with Brooklyn Hakoah to form New York Hakoah.

The club won the Lewis Cup and the Duffy Cup in 1950. The club also earned a "double" in 1954 winning both the ASL championship and the U.S. Open Cup.
