Newcastle Falcons: The True North

A vision adopted at the start of the 2022-23 season, the True North mantra was created by Newcastle Falcons’ players which underpins and feeds into the ethos of the whole club.

As the outpost of rugby union, we’re dedicated to the preservation of professional rugby in the North of England. We’re committed to finding and developing local talent for the long run.

We do this through our established and successful academy and by securing experienced players and coaches to join us to support player and team development.

We are invested in our community, we are proud of where we live and we work to support the region and forge relationships with its communities, its businesses, and its people.

Friendly, welcoming, and steeped in history as one of the oldest professional sports clubs in the North of England, we work together as a business to ensure we build on our solid foundations and secure a bright future for professional rugby union, our northern stars, and our club.

WE ARE NEWCASTLE FALCONS; WE ARE THE TRUE NORTH.

‘True North’ is a fixed point of orientation in a spinning world, which helps you stay on track. This internal compass is derived from our most deeply held beliefs, values, and leadership principles:

DEDICATED ● HONOUR ● HERITAGE.

Here for today, and tomorrow.
