The New York Knights are a semi-professional rugby league football team based in New York City that currently plays in the USA Rugby League. They played their home games at Pier 40 in Hudson River Park.
Originally known as the New York Broncos, the team was founded in 1997 and joined the league eventually known as the American National Rugby League (AMNRL) for its inaugural 1998 season. They adopted their current name in 2001 after forming a team partnership with the Newcastle Knights of Australia's National Rugby League, who sent them jerseys. The Knights competed in the AMNRL until it folded in 2014, and joined the USARL the following year. In the AMNRL, they won season championships in 2002, 2009, 2011, and 2012.
The club went into hiatus in 2019. In March of 2026, Super League club York Knights announced the partnership and revival of the club and its brand. They will rejoin the USA Rugby League as a member of the Rugby League United Conference (Northeast RL).
