Template:Infobox Negro League franchise

The New Orleans Ads were a Negro Southern League (NSL) baseball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The team was started by Fred Caulfield, a local backer,[1] and the team is often referred to in newspapers as the Caulfield Ads.[2]

While the NSL was regarded as a minor league throughout most of its existence, with the collapse of the first Negro National League in 1932, the league is considered a major league for that one season.

The team played opposite days from the white New Orleans Pelicans team at Pelican Stadium.
