The 1999

Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.[1] The Rhinos became the first, and as of 2023, only non-Division I team to win the Open Cup since the inception of Major League Soccer, defeating four MLS teams in the tournament. Another A-League team, the Charleston Battery, also reached the semifinals, and the A-League's Staten Island Vipers
were the other non-division one squad to beat an MLS team.
