The women, known as the Buffalo Jills, claim they were regularly subjected to groping and sexist remarks as well as being assessed on how well the firmness of their bodies when dancing.
The complainants say the NFL team avoided paying them the £5.75 an hour New York minimum wage and they were forced to work for free at numerous games and other public events.
The women's lawyer Frank Dolce said: "We definitely want our organisation and other organisations in the NFL to respect the rights of these cheerleaders."

Records filed with the courts state the cheerleaders were even give a rulebook with instructions on how to properly wash "intimate areas" and how often to change their tampons.
Despite having one of the lowest payrolls in the NFL, the Bills still paid over £41m in salaries in the 2013 season.
Their highest-paid player is 27-year-old safety Jairus Byrd who takes home over £4m per season.
