The Tampa Tarpons are a Minor League Baseball team of the Florida State League (FSL) and the Single-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's New York Yankees. Located in Tampa, Florida, they play their home games at George M. Steinbrenner Field, the Spring Training home of the New York Yankees that incorporates design elements from old Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, including identical field dimensions. In 2025, they played home games at an adjacent practice field, Community Field at GMS Field. The Tarpons franchise competed at Class A-Advanced level from 1994 to 2020 before being reclassified to Single-A in 2021. Since their inception, the club has won five league championships, in 1994, 2001, 2004, 2009, and 2010.
The club was established in 1994 as the Tampa Yankees and played for 24 seasons under that name. Before the 2018 season, the team was rebranded as the "Tampa Tarpons", reviving a name that had been used by an earlier franchise in the FSL for over 30 years.
