The New York/New Jersey Hitmen were a short-lived American football team based in the Giants Stadium of the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
This team was part of the failed XFL begun by Vince McMahon of the World Wrestling Federation and by NBC, a major television network in the United States. NBC dropped the XFL concept after the first season 2001 due to dismal ratings, and the league folded shortly afterwards.
