Newcastle Football Club
Blue, gold and white football from Charlesland Road, with academy, boys and girls routes in the Wicklow schoolboy and schoolgirl game.
Charlesland Road football in County Wicklow
Newcastle Football Club gives families in the Newcastle, Newtown Mount Kennedy and Kilcoole area a clear local football base. The club works from Charlesland Road in Kilcoole, a practical Wicklow setting for young players, coaches and visiting teams travelling across the county game.
The public club name is Newcastle Football Club, with Newcastle FC used across football administration. That matters for families because the same local identity connects the academy, the boys and girls squads, the Wicklow Schoolboys and Girls League pathway and the wider Football Association of Ireland structure.
Visiting the home pitch
The main home pitch address is Newcastle Football Club, Charlesland Road, Kilcoole, Wicklow A63, Ireland. Families should use that location for the first travel plan, then confirm the exact arrival note with the team contact before training or a match.
Charlesland Road is a useful anchor because it sits close to the coastal Wicklow route and serves families coming from nearby villages as well as away teams travelling through the county. For younger age groups, allow time for parking, warm up, boots, water and the usual pre match check.
Academy start for younger players
The Newcastle FC Academy is built for children aged six to eight who want an introduction to football. It is especially useful for children who have not played organised football before and need a friendly first step before joining regular team activity.
The academy aim is simple: introduce training habits, ball work, listening, movement, teamwork and enjoyment, then help children progress towards league football when they are ready. That early structure gives parents a clearer route than guessing which squad to contact first.
Current squad pathway
Newcastle FC has named youth groups across early boys and girls football. The publicly listed squads include U9 boys, U9 girls, U11 boys and U12 girls, giving the club a balanced early pathway rather than a single team focus.
That spread is useful for families comparing age group options. Younger players can begin through the academy, then move towards the right boys or girls group as age, confidence, numbers and coach guidance allow.

Girls and boys development
Newcastle FC’s team list is valuable because it shows boys and girls football side by side at the younger ages. For parents, that makes the club easier to understand: there is a local route for children starting out, and there are named groups for both girls and boys.
A first enquiry should include the child’s name, age, school year, previous football experience and whether the question is about academy football or a named age group. That helps the club guide the family towards the right coach or organiser.
Crest, colours and visual identity
The Newcastle FC crest uses a blue shield with a gold border, a central castle and flag, a gold name band and blue and white vertical stripes. It is a strong local mark: simple to recognise, bright on kit and direct enough for young players to identify quickly.
The colour story is royal blue, gold and white. Those colours give Newcastle a clear Wicklow football identity, with the castle detail adding a local place feel and the shield shape keeping the club mark sharp across digital, kit and sideline use.
Contact and registration route
The simplest public contact route is info@newcastlefootballclub.com. Families should use that address for general questions about academy entry, age group availability, girls and boys squads, training arrangements and the next registration step.
The club also connects into the Wicklow Schoolboys and Girls League registration route. A parent does not need to start with every administration detail; the useful first message is a clear note about the player, the age group and what the family wants to do next.
Match visit and family checklist
For a match visit, start with the team name and age group, then confirm the venue, meet time, kit colour and coach contact. Newcastle’s home anchor is Charlesland Road, but every family should still follow the team note for the exact plan.
For a new player, the key questions are different: whether the academy or an age group squad is the right fit, what equipment is needed, when training happens and how registration is handled. Newcastle FC’s structure makes those questions easy to organise before the first session.
