Newcastle Breakers FC are a defunct Australian football (soccer) club. Formed out of elements of the Newcastle Austral club,[1] they participated in the National Soccer League from season 1991/1992, until their dissolution in 1999/2000.[2] The club fared poorly on the field in its nine seasons in the national league, failing to reach the finals at every attempt. The club's demise led to the creation of Newcastle United FC (later known as Newcastle Jets).[3][4]
