This list of New York Cubans seasons documents the games played by the New York Cubans. For seasons in which the Cubans were league members or associate team, only games that counted toward official league standings are included. Conversely, seasons without league membership, during which they followed an independent or barnstorming schedule, encompass games against predominantly major-league-caliber teams.
Contemporary coverage of games and win-loss records was inconsistent and sporadic. Ongoing research continually uncovers previously unreported or inaccurately reported games, though some matches may be irretrievably lost. As a result, Negro league seasonal standings will likely remain incomplete and subject to interpretation.
