Jersey Falcons were an American soccer team, founded in 2001. The team was a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, until 2004, when the team left the league and the franchise was terminated. They managed the rather ignominious feat of finishing last in their division in every year they played.
They played their home games in the stadium at New Jersey City University in Jersey City, New Jersey. The team's colors were red and white, representing their strong links to the local Polish community in the area.
