The Newcastle Jets FC, also known as the Newcastle Jets Women, is a professional Australian women's soccer club. Founded in 2008, it is the affiliated women's team of Newcastle Jets. The team competes in the country's national women's soccer competition, the A-League Women, under licence from The Australian Professional Leagues (APL).
History
Establishment
Formed in 2008, following the Australian women's national soccer team's most successful experience at a FIFA Women's World Cup and the call for the establishment of a professional women's league, the W-League was initially composed of eight teams: Adelaide United, Brisbane Roar, Central Coast Mariners, Melbourne Victory, Newcastle Jets, Perth Glory, and Sydney FC. Seven of the eight teams were affiliated with men's Hyundai A-League clubs, and shared their names and colours to promote their brands. The eighth club was the Canberra-based Canberra United. Naming rights were secured by Westfield, a company co-founded by Frank Lowy.
Les Jets sont entraînés par Ashley Wilson et disputent leurs matchs à domicile au No.2 Sportsground. La couleur de leur maillot est le bleu marine et le rouge.
Les Jets ont été fondés en 2008 et ont remporté la W-League à deux reprises, en 2009 et 2013. Ils ont également remporté le championnat de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud à deux reprises, en 2012 et 2013.
Les Jets ont produit un certain nombre de joueuses internationales, dont Emily Van Egmond, Lisa De Vanna et Samantha Kerr.
Le club a une forte rivalité avec les Sydney FC, qui sont basés dans la ville voisine de Sydney. Les deux clubs se sont rencontrés en finale de la W-League à deux reprises, les Jets ayant remporté le titre en 2009 et les Sydney FC en 2011.
