The Harlem Globetrotters were founded nearly 100 years ago. It started as a group of talented players seeking competition, quickly evolved into something much bigger, a global phenomenon that would eventually transcend sports altogether.

The Harlem Globetrotters have taken the court in more than 26,000 exhibition games across 124 countries and territories. Their worldwide tours have helped introduce basketball to new audiences while also uniting fans through a shared love of the sport and entertainment. Few teams in any sport can match the Globetrotters’ international reach or enduring popularity.
