The Falcons play their home games at Newcastle Basketball Stadium.

[4] In 1990, Newcastle Basketball entered a team in the inaugural SEABL women's competition.

[10] The 2021 women's championship was shared by the Hunters and the Sutherland Sharks after the season was cut short in August due to lockdowns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

[11] In late 2021, following the club's admission to the new NBL1 East competition replacing the Waratah League,[12] Newcastle Basketball surveyed the local community to gauge support for a potential rebranding of the club.

The club was subsequently renamed the Newcastle Falcons (after the defunct national league NBL franchise of the same name) after 51% of the survey's respondents voted for the change of name.
