New York Liberty history
Founded in 1997, the Liberty were one of the eight teams that launched the WNBA. They now play in Brooklyn at Barclays Center, and owners Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai also hold a majority of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. In 2021, on May 6, the club introduced its mascot, Ellie the Elephant.
Finals heartbreak was a theme for a long time. New York lost to the Houston Comets in 1997, 1999 and 2000, to the Los Angeles Sparks in 2002 and to the Las Vegas Aces in 2023. The sixth trip was the charm: in 2024 the Liberty beat the Minnesota Lynx for their first WNBA title. They have also made the playoffs in nineteen of twenty-eight seasons. Sabrina Ionescu was the first No. 1 overall pick in team history.
