The New York Red Bulls II was founded on January 21, 2015. They are the reserve team for the New York Red Bulls and play in the USL, one of two second-tier leagues in the American soccer pyramid. 

The New York Red Bulls II put together one of the most impressive seasons in the USL’s history in 2016. They set the USL records for wins (21), points (69), goals scored (61) goal differential (+40) and away wins (13). They went on to claim the USL Regular Season Championship and the USL Cup.  

In 2017 the logo was updated after the team went on to win the USL Cup and earned the elusive championship star above the crest.
