The Rochester Rattlers, AKA Rattlers, are Rochester's professional outdoor lacrosse team. The team plays in Major League Lacrosse, which was founded in 1999.

In 2008, the team won the Major League Lacrosse championship. However the team moved to Toronto and became the Nationals on February 20, 2009. The history, colors, and name of the Rattlers franchise remained in Rochester so that they could be used for a future MLL team. On November 23, 2010, the Chicago Machine officially announced they would move to Rochester and resume play in 2011 under the Rochester Rattlers name; they finished their first season in last place with a 2-10 record.

After losing again in the 2015 Championship game the Rattlers just failed to make the 2016 playoffs on a regular season standings tiebreaker.
