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 and they’ve retained this name ever since.
Since the team first appeared in the Premiership in 1997-98, the Newcastle Falcons Rugby team have competed in the Premiership every season except for two. However, on both occasions the team has been relegated to the RFU Championship, they have won the division at the first attempt and have been promoted as champions. Plus, since 1975-76, the Newcastle Rugby side has also won the Anglo-Welsh Cup on four occasions.
