New Jersey Teamsters FC is an American professional soccer club based in Bayonne, New Jersey and is set to begin play in the National Independent Soccer Association starting in 2021. The team formerly played in the United Premier Soccer League.

History

The Teamsters were announced as a new member of the United Premier Soccer League on February 28, 2017.
The team began play in the Northeast Conference's American Division during the 2018 Spring UPSL season. In its first home match on April 14, 2018, at Don Ahern Veterans Memorial Stadium, the Teamsters overcame two one goal deficits and finished with a 2-2 draw to earn its first ever competitive point. The group went on to finish third in its division, clinching a postseason spot before falling in the semifinals of the American Division playoffs to Junior Lone Star FC II. The following Spring, New Jersey finished second within the conference, now playing within a single table, but failed to make the national playoffs.
On February 26, 2020, the Teamsters announced it had been accepted into the National Independent Soccer Association, a professionally sanctioned division 3 league, with plans to begin professional play in Spring 2021. The organization further stated that it would not be fielding a UPSL team in 2020.
