Newcastle United — Club History
Newcastle United were founded in December 1892, the result of a merger between Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End. The Edwardian era was the club's most decorated period, with three First Division titles between 1905 and 1909 and a fourth in 1927.
The 1990s "Entertainers" under Kevin Keegan produced some of the most thrilling football of the early Premier League era, finishing second twice but never claiming the title. The club drifted in the 2010s under the Mike Ashley ownership until the 2021 acquisition by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (in consortium with Reuben Brothers and PCP Capital Partners).
Under Eddie Howe, appointed in November 2021, Newcastle returned to Champions League football in 2023 and won the 2025 EFL Cup — the club's first major domestic trophy since the 1955 FA Cup. St James' Park, set in the city centre, is one of the most atmospheric venues in English football.
