History of Newcastle Falcons

The Newcastle rugby team was first formed in 1877, when the team was based in Gosforth and was known as the Gosforth Football Club. Since then, the Newcastle rugby team has been known by many different names. 

In 1882, the team merged with the Northumberland Football Club and assumed their name until 1887. However, the team then reverted back to Gosforth FC until 1990, when the name was changed to Newcastle Gosforth. Then, when the team became professional, they became Newcastle Rugby Club for one season. Finally, in 1997, the team name changed to the Newcastle Falcons. They've retained this name ever since.

Since the team first appeared in the Premiership in 1997-98 (the season they won the competition), the Newcastle Falcons rugby team has featured in the competition during every season except for two. However, both times the team was relegated to the RFU Championship, they were promoted as champions at the first attempt. 

Over the years, several notable international stars have played for the Newcastle Falcons rugby team, including Jamie Noon and Maxime Mermoz

However, the Newcastle Falcons rugby union side's most famous former player is ex-England fly-half Jonny Wilkinson, who played 182 times for the Newcastle Falcons between 1997 and 2009. During this period, he scored more than 2,000 points for the club and was capped for England almost 100 times. Famously, Wilkinson kicked a winning drop-goal in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final when only 26 seconds of extra-time remained.

Although they regularly finish in the bottom half of the Premiership Rugby table, the Newcastle Falcons rugby union team has a lot to offer in the sport. Let’s hope their next Premiership title isn’t too far away.
