The Baltimore Nighthawks are a football team in the Independent Women's Football League. The Nighthawks played their inaugural game in Brooklandville at Martin D. Tullai Field (adjacent to St. Paul's School). The Nighthawks played the remainder of their home season at the Baltimore Lutheran School in Towson. The Baltimore Nighthawks have also made the newly renovated and renamed (for the late owner of the old Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens pro football team in the National Football League), Art Modell Stadium at Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical High School on Hillen Road by Lake Montebello in northeast Baltimore, their home field since the 2009 season. Since the 2014 season, the team has played their home games at the Paul Laurence Dunbar Community High School, located at 1400 Orleans Street in East Baltimore, near the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

The Baltimore Nighthawks support several charitable organizations focused on breast cancer research, healthcare for the homeless, child abuse and hunger. On March 21, 2009, the Nighthawks made women's football history when they hosted the Pink Ribbon Bowl. The goal was to raise awareness about breast cancer and introduce professional women's tackle football to a broader audience. A portion of the proceeds benefited the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation for breast cancer research.
