The Chesapeake Bayhawks were a professional men's field lacrosse team in Major League Lacrosse, based in Annapolis, Maryland. The franchise joined the league in its inaugural 2001 season as the Baltimore Bayhawks, played as the Washington Bayhawks from 2007 to 2009, and took the Chesapeake name in 2010 when new owners wanted it to cover northern Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and the Eastern Shore. Home games moved through Homewood Field, M&T Bank Stadium, Johnny Unitas Stadium, George Mason Stadium and Georgetown's Multi-Sport Field before the club settled at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. The Bayhawks won six Steinfeld Cup titles, the most of any league franchise, in 2002, 2005, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2019, and were the only team to post a winning season in each of the league's first five years. Their main rival was the Long Island Lizards, whom they met in five championship games.
