The '''San Jose Earthquakes''' are [[San Jose, California]]'s [[Major League Soccer]] (MLS) franchise. They won the [[MLS Cup]] in [[2001]] and [[2003]]. The Earthquakes play their home games at [[Spartan Stadium, San Jose|Spartan Stadium]] on the South Campus of [[San Jose State University]]. They were known as the '''San Jose Clash''' from [[1994]] to [[1999]].

The ''San Jose Earthquakes'' was also the name of a [[North American Soccer League]] (NASL) team from [[1974]] to [[1982]] and a [[Western Soccer Alliance]] team from [[1985]] to [[1988]]. The NASL San Jose Earthquakes were known as the ''Golden Bay Earthquakes'' from [[1983]] to [[1984]]. The team also played [[indoor soccer]] in the original [[Major Soccer League|MISL]]. The name Earthquakes originally came from a newspaper contest in the ''[[San Jose Mercury News]]''.

Currently the owners of the Earthquakes, AEG, are looking to sell the team or move them to a more lucrative market after attendance woes and a percieved lack of support for a new stadium for the team. Currently AEG appears most interested in moving the team to Houston.
