2001 USL A-League

The addition of the Portland Timbers saw the renewal of a Pacific Northwest rivalry between them, the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps which dated back to the North American Soccer League. Although Vancouver was not new to the league, this was the first season they competed in under the Whitecaps name, replacing the 86ers name used since 1986.

An ownership change in August 2000 brought a revival of the old Whitecaps name for the 2001 season. At the end of the regular season, the Richmond Kickers topped the league with seventy-six points. The playoffs were scheduled to begin on September 12, but those matches were postponed by a week due to the September 11 attacks.{{cite news |last=Dvorchak |first=Robert |date=September 12, 2001 |title=Area sporting events step aside in wake of tragedy |page=B4 |work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/pittsburgh-post-gazette-area-sporting-ev/129397722/ |via=Newspapers.com |accessdate=August 3, 2023}}{{cite news |last=Huggins |first=Harold |date=September 19, 2001 |title=Metros to open playoffs against Rampage |page=3C |work=The Tennessean |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tennessean-metros-to-open-playoffs-a/129397758/ |via=Newspapers.com |accessdate=August 3, 2023}} Midfielder Mickey Trotman, a starter for the Rochester Rhinos, was killed in an automobile accident two days before the team's first semifinal match with the Milwaukee Rampage.{{cite news |last=DiVeronica |first=Jeff |date=October 4, 2001 |title=Rhinos' Trotman killed in auto accident |page=1D |work=Democrat and Chronicle |location=Rochester |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/democrat-and-chronicle-rhinos-trotman-k/129397834/ |via=Newspapers.com |accessdate=August 3, 2023}} The Rhinos defeated the Hershey Wildcats to take its third league title in four seasons.{{cite news |last=DiVeronica |first=Jeff |date=October 14, 2001 |title=A sweet repeat |page=1D |work=Democrat and Chronicle |location=Rochester |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/democrat-and-chronicle-a-sweet-repeat/129397924/ |via=Newspapers.com |accessdate=August 3, 2023}}
