The first documented football game in North America was played at the University of Toronto on November 9, 1861. The game of football was introduced into the United States by a team from Montreal's McGill University when they played against Harvard on May 15, 1874. The game of football in the United States has its origins in that game. Two teams currently in the Canadian Football League, the Hamilton Tigers (1869) and the Toronto Argonauts (1873), were already in existence by that time. The Hamilton Tigers much later amalgamated with the Hamilton Wildcats to form the present-day Hamilton Tiger-Cats. By comparison, the oldest professional team in the US, the Arizona Cardinals, was not established until 1898.
