history

2008/09 - foundation and first season

In 2008, the Australian founded football's governing body (FFA) with the W-League , the first women's football league in the country. In the same year, Newcastle United Jets FC announced the creation of their own women's team. The team became one of the eight founding members of the new league at the beginning of the 2008/09 season. The team's first coach was former Australian professional footballer Gary Phillips. The team was able to achieve second place in the table at the end of the season. As one of the four best-placed teams, the women moved into the W-League play-offs . In the semifinals, the team lost 1-0 to Canberra United FC .

In the following 2010/11 season, only a disappointing penultimate place could be earned.

Before the 2011/12 season, the previous coach Wayne O'Sullivan was replaced by the former Australian national soccer player Clayton Zane . In addition, the club signed the former German national player Ariane Hingst for one season. Despite the reinforcement, the team missed the play-offs as fifth in the table.
