East Rutherford, N.J. – The New York Giants are proud to announce today an investment in the club by Julia Koch and her family. The family has acquired a minority, non-controlling interest in the Giants, one which will further support the growth of the organization, deepen its community impact, and embrace future opportunities.
The partnership was approved by the NFL at the League Meeting on October 22. This new partnership does not affect the current leadership structure of the Giants, with John Mara continuing in his role as President and CEO and Steve Tisch as Executive Vice President and Chairman of the Board.
"On behalf of the entire Mara family, I would like to welcome Julia and her family to the New York Giants," said John Mara. "It was clear during our discussions that Julia and her family understood the importance of this franchise to the Mara and Tisch families and the relationship we have with our fans and community. Our discussions were productive, and we are pleased to have them as a part of the New York Giants."
"The Tisch family is proud to have Julia and her family join the Tisches and Maras as we enter this new century of New York Giants football," said Steve Tisch. "With an ever-evolving sports landscape, we have a partnership that will strengthen our organization."
"My family and I are honored to join the Giants organization, a storied franchise with deep roots in New York," said Julia Koch. "We look forward to supporting the Mara and Tisch families to advance the team's continued success and appreciate the partnership with two great families."
Julia Koch serves on the boards of Koch, Inc., Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Koch and her children, David Jr., Mary Julia and John, are based in New York City. In 2023, they together founded the Julia Koch Family Foundation, continuing the family's lifelong commitment to philanthropy. In 2024, the family invested in BSE Global, the parent company of the Brooklyn Nets, New York Liberty and the Barclays Center.
A cornerstone franchise of the National Football League, the New York Giants were established in 1925 and celebrated their 100th season in 2024. After twice winning two Super Bowl titles in four years, the Giants are the only NFL team to win a championship in four consecutive decades.
