Wilmington Hammerheads is an American professional soccer team based in Wilmington, North Carolina. Founded in 1996, the team plays in the American Division of the new USL Professional Division, the third tier of the American Soccer Pyramid.
Having spent the 2010 season on hiatus from competitive play, the Hammerheads organization announced their intention to return to the field in 2011. The team had to cease its operations prior to the 2010 season due to the USL ending its relationship with the team's owner for not meeting certain key requirements set forth by the league.
The team plays its home games at Legion Stadium, where they have played since 2003. The team's colors are sky blue and white. Their head coach is Englishman David Irving.
