Brooklyn Field Club

Brooklyn Field Club was a soccer team that existed from 1898 to 1924, one of the few to predate the United States Soccer Federation. The club played in Brooklyn, New York. Between 1909 and 1916 they played in the second National Association Football League (NAFBL), winning the 1913-1914 league title. The team was the first to win the National Challenge Cup (the earliest version of the modern Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup) in 1914. In 1921, they joined the newly created American Soccer League.
