The Newcastle Knights are an Australian professional rugby league team based in Newcastle, the largest city in the Hunter Region of New South Wales. The club competes in the National Rugby League premiership and plays in red and blue. The Knights joined the top tier competition in 1988, seventy nine years after the earlier Newcastle based team, the Newcastle Rebels, had left the Sydney competition when a separate league competition was formed in the Newcastle region. The club has won the premiership twice, in 1997 and 2001, and its notable players include Paul Harragon, Robbie O'Davis, Danny Buderus and the rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns. The home ground of the team is McDonald Jones Stadium.
