Our History
Newport Rugby Club was established in 1963 (largely for ages below 18). However, in 1966, the first Senior team was formed to play in the NSW Suburban Rugby Competition.
In 1969, the "Tip" at Porter Reserve was converted into a playing field (by way of a bulldozer's demonstration day) to create our current home...
In the early 70s - the then Newport RSL Club (adjoining the oval) was transferred for the use of the Rugby Club.
And in 1972 we won our first Premiership...
Over the years the Breakers (as they have become known) have won a number of premierships - the pinnacle being the 1999 Kentwell Cup...
Then in 2003 the Barraclough Cup...
And in 2017 - Newport took out the Campbell Cup...
And again in 2019...
With Newport's Colts also winning the Minor Premiership and Grand Final in 2019...
Perhaps our Greatest year was 2020 during the Covid19 Pandemic...
We won three Premierships, the Club Championship and Club of the Year (which is from all divisions). The President was Jake Osborne with 1st Grade Coach: Eddie Wayling,
Covid19 ruined the 2021 season - with the last game on 20 June and no Finals.
But at least we got our new Breakettes started with a few games before the shutdown....
Then in 2022 - still with Jake Osborne as President and new Headcoach Greg Lee (different one to our late President of 1980-84) - we won the Division 2 Club Championship.
Our 1st Grade were Barraclough Cup Minor Premiers and defeated UNSW in a gripping
17-12 Grand Final at TG Milner...
Also in 2022 - Our Blunt Cup Team were Minor Premiers...
In 2023 we were again in the 2nd Sub-District Division, competing for the Barraclough Cup in 1st Grade. But there were only 3 Senior men's teams plus Colts.
It was a smaller competiton of only 7 Clubs but we were Grand Final Winners of the inaugural Joy Johnson Cup (Women's 7s) and won The Robertson Cup (Colts) in front of a great crowd at the brand new Concord Oval.
So, huge Congratulations to them both...
Also in 2023 - Jack Hanley was voted Colts Player of the year across all clubs...
The new Clubhouse/Changing rooms for our Ladies opened in 2023
This gave a huge boost to our inaugural Joy Johnson Cup Winners...
2024 was arguably our most successful year ever...
We competed in 2nd Division (8 clubs) - for the Barraclough Cup plus Colts and 3 other grades whilst our Ladies played 7 & 10 a side rugby.
The Ladies results contributed to the Club Championship and Cowboy Cup standings.
Also our Over 35s had a strong calendar of social fun - usually preceded by some contact rugby as an excuse.
With Finals again at Concord Oval - we won the Barraclough Cup (1sts) and Burke Cup (3rds), whilst 4th Grade also made it to the GF.
So, we won the Reliance Shield (Club Championship) , then finally the big one...
The Cowboy Cup (awarded to the Club that scores the most points from ALL divisions)...
In 2025 we are returning to Division One
Strength training has already been taking place at 6pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (since Oct 2024!)
Head to: 360, 2/8 Wilmette Place Mona Vale.
New and existing players are invited to head on down
TriTag Rugby at Porter Reserve began in October.
Over 35s or "Newport Nasties" enjoy themselves with a great calendar of social events - using Rugby as an excuse
Supporters are invited to join our "Broken Breakers" with whom they enjoy social events put on for them during the year, plus badge draws, clothing and newsletters.
Newport believes in mateship, hardwork and fun - with a strong community based ethos. The majority of our players are resident on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The club has in excess of 250 registered players and officials, and we pride ourselves in the fact that we are one of the most successful clubs in the NSW Suburban competition.
The Club seeks to actively participate in the improvement of the local community, by providing a strong football club for the local youth of the Northern Beaches.
Our home ground is located at Porter Reserve, Burke Street, Newport and we offer players and supporters the benefit of our own club house(s) adjacent to the ground following home games.
The picturesque ground overlooks the surf and breakers of Newport Beach, NSW.
