The Long Island Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1984 to honor sports figures who lived or played on Long Island, New York.

Among the first inductees chosen were American footballers John Schmitt, Jim Brown and Ed Danowski, basketball's Julius Erving, polo's Tom Hitchcock, Yankee pitcher Whitey Ford, ice hockey's Mike Bossy, Dodger catcher Roy Campanella and bowler Andy Varipapa. The first induction was on November 30, 1984. Early induction ceremonies were formal events, with a 1987 report that a "black-tied crowd will be out in force."
