# List of New York Dragons seasons

This is a list of seasons completed by the New York Dragons. The Dragons were a professional arena football franchise of the Arena Football League (AFL), based in Uniondale, New York. The team was established in 1995 as the Iowa Barnstormers. As the Barnstormers, the franchise made the playoffs in all but one season, and appeared in two consecutive ArenaBowls, however lost both. Before the 2001 season, the Barnstormers relocated to New York and changed their name to the Dragons. As they did in Iowa, the Dragons won four division championships, but have not been in any ArenaBowls. In the 2004 season, the Dragons won their division, but did not qualify for the playoffs due to a rule change made prior to that season concerning which teams would be given a playoff berth. The rule was changed back following that season's conclusion to the way it was before 2004. Prior to the 2009 season, the AFL announced that it had suspended operations indefinitely and canceled the 2009 season. The Dragons played their home games at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
