Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup
the last time a team from N.Y./N.J. came close
The last time a team from the New York/New Jersey area captured a U.S. Open Cup happened in 1991, when the Brooklyn Italians of the Northeastern Super Soccer League defeated the Richardson Rockets (Texas) to earn that coveted title. On October 15, 2003, the MetroStars tried to duplicate the Italians’ feat against the Chicago Fire at Giants Stadium but fell short,1-0 final score.
