The White Hand Gang was a collection of various Irish American gangs on the New York City, Brooklyn, and Red Hook waterfronts from the early 1900s to 1925 who organized against the growing influence of Italian gangsters. Their name was chosen in response to the Sicilian Black Hand gangs and carried the implication that the Irish gang was the "white" counter to the growing presence of what they considered "non-white" Italian gangsters and Italian immigrants. They were known to be virulently anti-Italian and particularly violent, with members killing each other, contributing to the unstable leadership which led to the gang's demise.

Название было выбрано в ответ на сицилийские банды «Чёрной руки» и подразумевало, что ирландская банда была «белой», в отличие от итальянцев, которых они считали «небелыми». Было известно, что члены «Белой руки» были яростно настроены против итальянцев, но особенно жестоки они были, когда убивали друг друга, что способствовало нестабильности руководства и привело в конечном счёте к упадку банды.
