The Los Angeles Riptide were a lacrosse team based in Carson, California. From 2006 to 2008, they played in Major League Lacrosse. They ceased operations before the 2009 season due to the economic situation in the United States.
In March 2005, MLL announced that Los Angeles would receive the first of the planned four western expansion teams for the 2006 season.
The Riptide's ownership group was the Anschutz Entertainment Group. This group also owns and operates the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and Los Angeles Galaxy of MLS, their minor-league affiliates the Manchester Monarchs and Reading Royals.
The first Los Angeles Ripide player was Michael Watson, who was selected with the top pick in the 2006 MLL expansion draft.
