The Long Island Suburban Football Association was a league-style amateur competition involving the association football teams of 12 athletic clubs in Brooklyn and Queens, New York. It was to be an annual event but only lasted one season, 1895. The competition started on 13 January 1895 and concluded on 2 June 1895. Most games were played on Sunday. On Washington's Birthday (22 February), which fell on a Friday that year, each team played two games. Two games were also played on Decoration Day (now called Memorial Day), which fell on a Thursday that year (30 May).

This was not a simple home and home series. Some teams played each other only once or not at all. Some teams played each other multiple times. Two teams played each other 11 times.
