The Lucchese crime family's Brooklyn faction is a group of Italian-American mobsters within the Lucchese crime family that control organized crime activities within the New York metropolitan area but predominantly based out of Brooklyn and Staten Island. The Brooklyn faction was created when two separate crews in the Lucchese family were merged together. The merger occurred during the early 2000s, after the Lucchese family administration decided that Vario Crew Caporegime Domenico "Danny" Cutaia would also take control of the 19th Hole Crew. The violent and notorious members of the 19th Hole crew had lost their leadership after many members were imprisoned. Cutaia became the Caporegime of two merged crews that became known as the Brooklyn faction for the Lucchese Borgata.

Before the merger the Vario Crew, was sometimes known as the Canarsie Crew and had been predominantly based out of Brooklyn neighborhoods of Canarsie and Flatlands. In the past, the crew was controlled by Caporegime Paul Vario during the early 1960s into the early 1980s, when Vario, Jimmy Burke, and a number of other associates were imprisoned, primarily due to the testimony of another long-term associate, Henry Hill. The life story of Hill's time with the Vario crew was the subject of Nicholas Pileggi's book Wiseguy and Martin Scorsese's crime film adapted from that book, Goodfellas (1990), starring Ray Liotta as Hill.

The 19th Hole Crew, sometimes called Bensonhurst Crew, was based out of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn before it was merged into the Brooklyn faction. In the past, the crew was controlled by Christopher "Christie Tick" Furnari and then by his protege Vic Amuso. In 1986, Vic Amuso became the new boss of the family and promoted his close ally Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso to Caporegime of the crew. Under Casso's leadership the Bensonhurst crew would be responsible for 100 murders making it the most violent and bloodiest reigns in Lucchese family history. In 1993, Casso was imprisoned, and he became one of the highest-ranking members of the Mafia to turn informant. After Casso's defection much of the crew's leadership was imprisoned and eventually the crew was merged with the Vario Crew creating the Brooklyn faction.
