Latest news on Newcastle Red Bulls, formerly Newcastle Falcons, covering Premiership Rugby fixtures, results, signings and Kingston Park match action.

Newcastle Red Bulls are a professional rugby union club based in Newcastle upon Tyne, competing in the Premiership, England's top flight. The club is the only professional rugby union side in North East England, playing home matches at Kingston Park. Known for decades as Newcastle Falcons, the club was renamed after its takeover by energy drink giant Red Bull in 2025.

The Red Bull era has brought sweeping change to Tyneside. The new owners cleared the club's debts and launched an ambitious squad rebuild, recruiting international talent on a scale rarely seen in English rugby. Supporters will follow every signing, team announcement and result as the club seeks to climb the Premiership table after several difficult seasons.

Beyond the first team, the club remains deeply rooted in its region. Kingston Park is a focal point for rugby across the North East, while the club's community programmes and academy continue to develop local talent. Fans who grew up with the Falcons identity follow the transition to the Red Bulls name with keen interest.

Founded in 1877 as Gosforth Football Club, the team enjoyed cup success in the 1970s before becoming Newcastle Gosforth and later Newcastle Falcons. The club won the Premiership title in 1998 and lifted domestic cups in 2001 and 2004. Legendary fly-half Jonny Wilkinson spent his entire English club career at Newcastle, scoring over 2,000 points between 1997 and 2009.
