New York City Sporting Events

Nothing Beats the Thrill of New York Sporting Events

New York is a great sports city. No trip would be complete for a sports fan without an outing to a sports event in New York. New York City has teams in the four major North American professional sports leagues. There are New York sporting events for all seasons and fans—baseball, basketball, boxing, football, hockey, soccer, and tennis.

As a global city, New York supports many events outside these sports. The city hosts the U.S. Tennis Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. The New York City Marathon is the world's largest race and boasts the largest number of finishers ( 2004–2006). The Millrose Games is an annual track and field meet whose featured event is the Wanamaker Mile. Boxing is also a very prominent part of the city's sporting scene, with events like the Amateur Boxing Golden Gloves that are held at Madison Square Garden each year.

New York City is often called "The World's Biggest Urban Playground," as street sports are commonly played by people of all ages. Stickball, street hockey, football, and baseball are commonly seen being played on the streets of New York.
