New York Red Bulls history
This club began life under the MetroStars name (New York/New Jersey), set up in October 1994 and kicking off in the first MLS season in 1996. Red Bull GmbH bought the team in 2006 and folded it into the company's worldwide group of soccer clubs, which brought the current name. Before the move to Harrison, matches were held at Giants Stadium.
Regular seasons have been the strong suit, with Supporters' Shields in 2013, 2015 and 2018. The big finals have not gone their way. The Red Bulls lost MLS Cup finals in 2008 and 2024 and U.S. Open Cup finals in 2003 and 2017. Guadalajara knocked them out in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League semifinals. The main rival is New York City FC in the Hudson River Derby, with D.C. United and New England also on the list.
