The 1960 season was the inaugural edition of the International Soccer League, a soccer competition in the United States that invited teams from Europe and South America during their off-seasons. The inaugural season featured 12 teams, including the U.S.-based New York Americans, who were divided into two groups with round-robin play that began on May 25. Most matches were played in the New York City metropolitan area.[1] The top team in each group—Kilmarnock from Scotland and Bangu from Brazil—advanced to the championship.[2] Bangu won 2–0 in the championship, which was played at the Polo Grounds in New York City on August 6 with 25,440 in attendance.[3]
