We are a citizen-led military support organization founded in 1902 to support the sea services — U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine. The New York Council was the first council established and is now one of the largest and most active of the Navy League of the United States councils. Many New Yorkers and Sailors know us as one of the founders of Fleet Week New York.

A new season of football watch parties starts October 4

Join New York Council Navy League, Naval Academy Alumni Association - NY Metro Chapter and New York City Naval Academy Parents Club as our organizations come together to host the first of three 2025 USNA Football Watch Parties on October 4. We’ll be at Yard House in Times Square starting 30 minutes before kick-off for an afternoon of fun, football and good-natured service academy rivalry.

Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and include admission plus two drink tickets good for beer, wine or soft drinks. Get your tickets today for this event as well as either — or both — of our other 2025 USNA Football Watch Parties.
