> When were the last major sports championships between Northeastern teams?

If you throw Maryland in, the last time was the 1983 Phillies-Orioles series.
Otherwise, it would be the 1980 Islanders-Flyers Stanley Cup.
Other last times using only states mentioned:
Baseball - 1956: Yankees-Dodgers
Football - I don't think it's ever happened.  The closest would be Super Bowl
           III - Jets-Colts.  Prior to Super Bowls, the championship was always
           East champion versus West champion.  Since the Giants, Eagles, and
           even the old Boston Redskins were all in the East (the Steelers
           never got so far), no NFL championship would have involved two
           northeastern teams.  The AFL may have had one, I'm not sure, in its
           early years, since the top team in each division would play the #2
           team in the other division in the first round, making all-eastern
           title games possible.
Basketball - 1967 or 68: Boston-Philadelphia
