The '''Baltimore Nighthawks''' are a women's [[American football]] team in the [[Women's Football Alliance]]. The Nighthawks played their inaugural game in [[Brooklandville, Maryland|Brooklandville]] at Martin D. Tullai Field (adjacent to [[St. Paul's School (Brooklandville, Maryland)|St. Paul's School]]).  The Nighthawks played the remainder of their home season at the [[Baltimore Lutheran School]] in [[Towson, Maryland|Towson]].
Since the 2018 season, the team has played their home games at [[Woodlawn High School (Baltimore, MD)]], located at 1801 Woodlawn Drive in Baltimore, MD.

The Baltimore Nighthawks support several charitable organizations including Healthcare for the Homeless, Special Olympics MD through the annual Polar Bear Plunge, various breast cancer groups, and the Central MD Girl Scouts.  On March 21, 2009, the Nighthawks made women's football history when they hosted the first '''Pink Ribbon Bowl'''.  The goal was to raise awareness about breast cancer and introduce professional women's tackle football to a broader audience.  A portion of the proceeds benefited the [[Susan G. Komen for the Cure]] foundation for [[breast cancer]] research.  The Baltimore Nighthawks have supported Healthcare for the Homeless since 2009 by volunteering for the Chocolate Affair.
