A Subway Series is a series of Major League Baseball games played between teams based in New York City; referring to the fact that every potential venue for such a game is accessible through the Subway. The term's historic usage has been in reference to World Series games played between New York teams.

The New York Yankees have appeared in all Subway Series games as they have been the only American League team in the city, and have compiled an 11–3 record in the fourteen championship Subway Series. Since 1997, the term Subway Series has also been applied informally to interleague play during the regular season between the Yankees and National League New York Mets, although the term is still most commonly associated with World Series play.
