Kearny Celtic
View on Wikipedia
The Kearny Irish was an American soccer club based in Kearny, New Jersey; it was an inaugural member of the reformed American Soccer League. Commonly known as the Irish-Americans, the club was renamed the Kearny Celtic prior to the 1942/43 season.[1] The team returned to their original name before the 1949/50 season.[2] In 1944, the club won the Lewis Cup.
Key Information
Due to mounting financial losses, the franchise was bought by the Newark Portuguese S.C. in early December 1951. Newark joined the ASL and carried on from the Irish-Americans' record of two wins, two losses and three ties.[3]
