The New Orleans Breakers were a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Breakers competed in the United States Football League (USFL) as a member of the league's South division.
As with the majority of the revived USFL's teams, the Breakers did not play in the metropolitan area of the city whose name they bear; they instead shared Protective Stadium with the Birmingham Stallions. The league had been in contact with the Shrine on Airline, a converted baseball park in suburban Metairie, Louisiana, about future use of that stadium for the team. This never materialized, and on December 19, 2023, the USFL informed its players union that the Breakers would not be among four USFL teams to be contracted as part of the league's upcoming merger with the XFL.
