New York-New Jersey Knights was a franchise in the World League of American Football for the 1991 and 1992 seasons. They played in the North American East division, which they won in the 1991 season. They were coached by Mouse Davis, an architect of the Run & Shoot offense.
After 1992 the NFL (who backed the WLAF) suspended operations. When the WLAF returned in the 1995 season the league was concentrated in Europe, and none of the seven North American teams (including New York-New Jersey Knights) were ever heard of again.
They played their home games at Giants Stadium, also home to the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets.
