Crystal Palace Baltimore

Crystal Palace Baltimore was an American professional soccer team based in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Founded in 2006, the club was originally named Crystal Palace USA and was affiliated with English Football League Championship side Crystal Palace.

The club was a member of the old USL Second Division and the temporary USSF Division 2 Professional League. Following its 2010 season, the club severed ties with the London-based Crystal Palace and announced plans to take a one-year hiatus in order to execute a reorganization involving a complete rebranding and the possibility of a new soccer-specific stadium in downtown Baltimore. On December 3, 2010 the franchise stated it intended to relaunch for the start of the 2012 North American Soccer League campaign. However no further announcements have been forthcoming from the club since that date.
