History

The team was founded in October 2005 as the Pomorze Seahawks. In 2006 the Seahawks was one of four founders of the Polish American Football League and in the first season made their first appearance in the national championship game, the Polish Bowl, in 2006, but lost the game to the Warsaw Eagles.[1] In 2008 they lost the Polish Bowl again to the Eagles.[2] In 2009 the team makes his first appearance at the EFAF Challenge Cup.

First two seasons Seahawks played home games in Sopot, next three played in Gdańsk at the GOKF stadium. Since 2011 PLFA season Sehawks moved to Gdynia, changed name to the Seahawks Gdynia and played at the National Rugby Stadium.[3]

After the 2017 season, the Seahawks left the Polish American Football League and joined the new Liga Futbolu Amerykańskiego.
