Here is a comprehensive summary of the article:

Red Bull New York (formerly the New York/New Jersey MetroStars) is a professional soccer club based in the New York metropolitan area, competing in Major League Soccer (MLS) as part of the Eastern Conference. Founded in October 1994 as an original MLS team, the club was sold and rebranded by Red Bull GmbH in 2006, and has played its home games at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, since 2010. A fierce rivalry exists with fellow New York club New York City FC in the Hudson River Derby, alongside other regional matchups. Despite reaching the MLS Cup finals in 2008 and 2024, the team has never won the title, though it has secured three regular-season Supporters' Shields (2013, 2015, and 2018) and reached the U.S. Open Cup finals in 2003 and 2017. The club's early history was marked by the infamous "Curse of Caricola," an own goal that cost them their first home game, and a bizarre draft incident where they mistakenly selected players named Juninho and Túlio who were not the famous Brazilian stars. These near-misses and quirky moments have cemented the club's reputation as a competitive yet often heartbreaking original MLS franchise.
