The Yankees originally fielded a team in the [[Sarasota Rookie League]] and the [[Florida Rookie League]] in 1964 and 1965, which were direct predecessors to the [[Gulf Coast League]] (GCL).

In 2013, the Yankees began fielding two squads in the league, originally differentiated by "1" and "2" suffixes. The suffixes were changed to "East" and "West" in 2016, as the squads played in the Northeast and Northwest division, respectively. In 2019, both teams moved into the North Division.
