New England Mutiny is an American women’s soccer club, which competes at the pro-am level of women's soccer in the USA, in the United Women's Soccer league.

The club plays its home games on the campus of East Longmeadow High School in the city of East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, 5 miles west of downtown Springfield, Massachusetts.

Team history

Established in 1999 as Springfield Sirens, the club played in the amateur W-League. After winning the W-2 (second division) championship in 2000,[1] the club played one more season in the W-League, then a season as an exhibition team before changing the team name to the New England Mutiny and transferring to WPSL as one of the founding members of the East Division.[2]

On July 29, 2004, in a match preparing women's national team of China for international tournament, the Mutiny surprised the fifth ranked team in the world, in front of 3000 fans in Agawam, Massachusetts, with a 3-1 lead, and losing 4-3 only in the final minutes. The Mutiny consider this match their crowning achievement.

After the folding of WPS in 2012, the club joined the new Women's Premier Soccer League Elite, which included three former WPS teams. Although they finished fifth out of the eight WPSLE teams, they recorded wins over the Chicago Red Stars and Boston Breakers as well as a draw at the Western New York Flash - the former WPS teams - in the last month of the season.

WPSL-Elite lasted just one year as the former WPS teams joined the newly formed National Women's Soccer League, while the remaining teams either folded or, like the Mutiny, returned to the WPSL in 2013.

The Mutiny spent three further years in the WPSL, but after dissatisfaction with playoff procedures and handling in the WPSL, the team branched off to join the inaugural 2016 season of United Women's Soccer.[3]
