In 1907, the Brooklyn Royal Giants joined the National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs of the United States and Cuba.

During the 1920s, under the ownership of Nat Strong, a white New York City booking agent, the team fell into somewhat of a decline, and did very poorly while in the Eastern Colored League.

The Giants played their home games while part of the Eastern Colored League at Dexter Park in Queens.

The Giants played a pair of games against teams featuring Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
