The World Series of Football was a series of football games played indoors at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1902 and 1903.

Under the 1902 system, the anticipated second-place team was automatically swept into the championship game without even playing a down while the expected first place finisher had to fight its way through the brackets, effectively creating a cross between a traditional tournament and a "gauntlet-style" tournament for the first place team. The series is best remembered for showcasing the first indoor professional football game in 1902.
