They are members of the Eastern Conference of the Lingerie Football League. They are the successors to the New York Euphoria.
The team is one of the ten inaugural season squads established in 2009 as part of the Lingerie Bowl's expansion into a full-fledged league. Despite the "New York" name, they play their home games at the Sovereign Center in Reading, Pennsylvania, which is not anywhere near New York City, its metropolitan area or even New York State. (Apparently, the team was originally meant to play in the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, but a lease deal could not be secured.)
On November 13, 2009, New York Majesty QB Krystal Gray, who had originally signed with the Chicago Bliss before being traded to New York in order to build the Majesty's offense, was involved in a multiple-player brawl during a game against the Miami Caliente in Florida. The fight was instigated by a taunt from Morgan McGrath of the Caliente and followed by physical altercations with Anonka Dixon, Taira Turley, and Tina Caccavale. Gray was ejected from play and suspended for one game. Tina Caccavale and Taira Turley of the Miami Caliente were also ejected for throwing punches, but not suspended. The Caliente won 49-7.[1]
For the Majesty's final game, the team was coached by Henry Racich, owner of the semi-pro football team Conshohocken (Pennsylvania) Steelers, and Dan Esposito, formerly of the Washington Redskins and New Orleans Saints.
The Majesty suspended operations shortly after the 2009 season, due to what LFL founder Mitchell Mortaza described as "off-the-field distractions" and the fact that the team's home stadium was not in New York. Mortaza intends to bring the team back, but no sooner than 2012.
