St Newlyn East Football Club was born when a group of villagers decided in 1906 to form a football team to break the monotony of life and provide a less exclusive sport at the time to villagers than cricket.

Since our first match against St Columb Minor, St Newlyn East has gone on to become a successful junior football club and one of the most famous names in modern Cornish football with dozens of passionate followers worldwide.

Steeped in history and tradition, St Newlyn East Football Club has thrived on a pioneering and innovative spirit that has existed throughout its 113 years in existence. While society and football may have changed during this time, St Newlyn East has always served to create a sense of community for people here in our village, across Cornwall and the UK and now around the world.
