Newcastle United history
The club started as Stanley F.C. in 1881 and took its present form in 1892 after absorbing defunct local rival Newcastle West End, along with that club's stadium. Since entering the Football League in 1893, Newcastle have never fallen below the second tier. Their best era ran from 1904 to 1910, bringing an FA Cup and three of the club's four league titles.
The full trophy list adds six FA Cups, one League Cup, an FA Charity Shield and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, which puts them ninth among English clubs for trophies. Newcastle were runners-up in the league or FA Cup four times in the 1990s. Relegations in 2009 and 2016 were followed each time by an immediate return as Championship winners. The 2024-25 EFL Cup was won in 2025.
