The Newtown Jets are a rugby league football club based in Marrickville, in Sydney's inner west, and the oldest Australian rugby league club still in existence. Founded on 14 January 1908 at a public meeting in Newtown Town Hall convened by the sportsman James J. Giltinan, the club was a founding member of the New South Wales Rugby Football League and played in its premiership every season until it left the top grade after 1983. In that time it won three premierships, the second in 1933 and the third in 1943. The Jets now play in the NSW Cup at Henson Park, wearing blue and white.
