New York City Sports Teams
Giants, Jets, Yankees and Mets!
New York City Sports Teams are almost always playing in the finals and usually, winning. The sports atmosphere in New York is exhilarating year round and some of the most intense competition is within our own rivalries- Yankees vs. Mets, Rangers vs. Islanders, Giants vs. Jets.
New York City sports teams are some of the best in the world. With our combined record of:
- 4 Super Bowl wins (3 Giants, 1 Jets)
- 8 Stanley Cups (4 Rangers, 4 Islanders)
- 29 World Series wins (27 Yankees plus 10 NY Giants, 2 Mets)
- and 2 NBA Championships (Knicks),
Attending a New York City Sports Team event during your visit should be priority! The easiest events to get to are Rangers and Knicks, both at Madison Square Garden. The Yankees and Mets are quick and very easy subway rides out of NYC. The Giants and Jets play in New Jersey, about an hour outside of Manhattan, and the games take up a full Sunday, but there is nothing like a traditional American Football game.
Many major sporting events are held in NYC and surrounding areas. We've held the US Golf Open 4 times in the last 10 years and annually host the Tennis US Open in Flushing, Queens. Check the calendar to see upcoming major sporting events taking place in New York.
Many of our sports events are almost always sold out! So how do those of us without inherited season Giants tickets, which have been passed down for generations, access the games? See insider ways to get New York City Sports Team tickets.
Here is a quick overview of our New York City Sports Teams. Make sure to add a NYC Game Day to your NYC vacation itinerary - it's an absolute MUST in NYC!

The new Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is fabulous, but it's ALWAYS the fans that make a Yankees Game one of the BEST things you can do in NYC. Come join me on Yankees Game Day and we'll take a virtual game tour. Truth be told, my family is split down the Mets/Yankees line, but I am 100% Yanks - they are my favorite New York City Sports Team. Such magical memories from the 70's (hmm..did I just date myself?) with my Aunt and Uncle who had the best seats right between home and 1st, watching Bucky Dent, Reggie Jackson and Thurman Munson with a soda and a hot dog! I can't even recall a game they lost, all I remember is leaving the stadium as winners, with Sinatra's "New York, New York" playing loudly, a long-time NY Sports tradition. Yankees history is filled with all time greats like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson. Today's legends, Derek Jeter and A-Rod are so appreciative to their fans and they never disappoint! |
