Long Island Football Championships

Last updated November 19, 2024

Following is a list of high school teams that have competed in the Long Island Football Championship games on Long Island, New York.

The faux or mini championship pits the winner of the divisions/league champions in Nassau County, New York against the winner of the divisions/league in Suffolk County, New York.^[1]

New York State has a true state championship but the Long Island teams, and teams from the Catholic High School Athletic Association, as well as those in New York City choose not to compete in the tournament. ^[2]

Football is one of only sports that Long Island chooses not to be a part of the state championship. Many believe it’s due to revenue generated from Long Island championship games (in football), and the fact that LI teams would have to slightly adjust their in season schedule. They would also have to comply to the class / size system that the rest of state and country uses as opposed to the division system used on the Island.
