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.

Thank you to all our sponsors, partners and volunteers who helped make our events possible during INR/ America 250.

Want to see photos from our events? Follow the New York Council on social media — @navyleaguenyc on most platforms.
Want to keep the INR spirit going? Download our Liberty NYC walking tour app from the App Store or Google Play Store. We’re still adding new military-friendly businesses and will continue sharing the app with local and visiting military personnel through Veterans Week, Fleet Week 2027 and beyond.
