After modest results in their first three seasons, the Crows would win the 2002 Division III USAFL National Championship in Kansas City, defeating the Milwaukee Bombers in the final, 3.8 (26) to 2.2 (14).

The improvement lasted into season 2010, highlighted by a win over eventual D-I National Champion New York, and a 3rd place finish in the EAFL.

364 days after defeating the Portland Steelheads at Nationals in Mason, Philadelphia would end their long drought with victories over Austin Crows reserves and Des Moines Roosters before falling to the Sacramento Suns in the final group match on Saturday.

The 2014 season would be the best in some time for the Hawks, as they picked up several victories on the year and ran through Portland, the Calgary Kangaroos reserves, and Fort Lauderdale Fighting Squids to reach their fourth grand final.

After years of planning and false starts, the Philadelphia AusBall league, a non-contact, co-ed program was initiated with the hope of drawing in new recruits for the men's team, and to lay the seeds for the beginning of a women's side.

Defeating EAFL rival Columbus Cats in the semi, the Hawks kicked five unanswered goals in the second half of the Grand Final to turn aside the Ohio Valley River Rats, 46-20.

While the men's team was able to duplicate their Eastern Regional success in 2019, they were unable to secure a second straight National title, going 2-1 in their Division 2 return.
