The mighty Newtown Jets, the oldest rugby league club in Australia, founded in 1908 has a rich history built on resilience, determination, and a fierce love for the game.

Our story is one of the ultimate underdog: after being kicked out of the league in 1983, we never gave up. We refused to let go of the dream, and over time, we’ve clawed our way back into the NSW Premier League.In 1990, we re-emerged into the NSW Metro’ cup, playing in front of a lone man and his dog. Over the years, the club’s ever-faithful volunteers pounded the hipster streets of Newtown and Marrickville like true rugby league warriors, delivering game day flyers letterbox to letterbox, pub to pub. Truth be told it was more like a weekly pub crawl through the growing number of local breweries. Special shout-out to the legends at Philter, one of our proud team sponsors, for helping to fuel the journey.
