The Newport Gulls are a wooden-bat, summer collegiate baseball team based in Newport, Rhode Island. The Newport Gulls Baseball Club is a member of both the New England Collegiate Baseball League and the NECBL's Southern Division. From 2001 to the present, the Gulls have played at Cardines Field.
One of many NECBL expansion teams, the club was founded in Cranston in 1999. The Gulls have dominated the league throughout their history, winning 3 Fay Vincent, Jr. Cups as champions of the NECBL, and six Division Titles. Due to the Gulls playoff record, loyal fan base, and the fine-tuned nature of their operation, the franchise is considered as a premier team in the NECBL, and among the top summer collegiate teams in the United States.
