This list of Hilldale Club seasons compiles games played by the Hilldale Club. For seasons when Hilldale were league members or an associate team, only games that counted in official league standings are included. Seasons when they had no league membership and played an independent/barnstorming schedule include games against primarily major-league-caliber teams.
Contemporary coverage of games and standings was spotty and inconsistent. Ongoing research continuously discovers unreported or misreported games, while some games are probably lost forever. Therefore, Negro league seasonal finishes will likely remain incomplete and subjective.
