Season 2009 was the Newcastle Knights 22nd season since beginning in 1988 and 12th season competing in the National Rugby League. The Knights won 9 consecutive games at EnergyAustralia Stadium, breaking the previous home record of 8. Season 2009 also saw coach Brian Smith sacked after announcing on July 19 that he had signed a four year deal with the Sydney Roosters, and subsequently the team faltered as they lost three consecutive games until Newcastle officials sacked Smith and appointed assistant coach Rick Stone. The season began well for the Knights with the side winning 7 of their opening 10 games and were sitting equal first with the Bulldogs, St. George Illawarra and the Gold Coast with 14 points. However during the representitive season, the Knights struggled and went through a bad period of 7 losses in 11 games, the last three losses were recorded after news broke of Smith's departure from the club.
