The Brooklyn Royal Giants was a professional NEGR0 LEAGUE baseball team based in Brooklyn, New York. They were one of the prominent independent teams prior to World War I before organized league play began.  In 1906, the Brooklyn Royal Giants joined the International League of Colored Baseball Clubs in American and Cuba (ILBCAC). The league appears to have lasted a year or two and included the teams Philadelphia Giants, Cuban X-Giants, Cuban Stars, and the Cuban Giants of New York.
During the 1920s, under the ownership of Nat Strong, a white New York City booking agent, the team fell into somewhat of a decline, and did very poorly while in Eastern Colored League. The Giants played their home games while part of the Eastern Colored League at Dexter Park in Queens.
