New Jersey Stallions were an American soccer team, founded in 1996, which competed in the United Soccer Leagues until 2004. The club originally started in 1996 as the New York/New Jersey Stallions in the original indoor USISL Select League, before moving to Toms River, New Jersey and becoming the New Jersey Stallions in 1999. They moved to Union Township, Union County, New Jersey in 2000, and again to Wayne, New Jersey in 2003, before demoting themselves to the USL PDL for the 2004 season, after which the team left the league and the franchise was terminated.
They played their final home games in the stadium at DePaul Catholic High School in Wayne, 19 miles north of the state’s largest city, Newark. The team's colors were blue, white and black.
