Newcastle Falcons have been one of the most successful clubs in Northern England with 1 Premiership and 4 domestic cups to their name.

During that time and particularly in the late 1970s Gosforth enjoyed tremendous success both on and off the field, winning the John Player Cup in seasons 1975/76 and 76/77.

Gosforth Rugby Club continued as an amateur side working in partnership with Northumbria University.

The BiG (Back in Gosforth) campaign was finally achieved in July 2015, when the flag was raised at the new clubhouse on Broadway West.

Gosforth supplied innumerable players to all counties over the years, to the North of England sides and to the full international and British Lions teams.
