BRIEF HISTORY of the NEWPORT COUNTY ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Newport County Association Football Club is a Welsh professional association football club based in
the city of Newport, South Wales. The club participates in Football League Two, the fourth tier of
the English football league system. Most recently reformed in 1989, the club is a continuation of the
Newport County club which was founded in 1912 and was a founder member of the Football League's new
Third Division in 1920.
Newport County were Welsh Cup winners in 1980 and subsequently reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA
Cup Winner's Cup in 1981. The club was relegated from the Football League in 1988 and went out of
business in February 1989. The club reformed shortly afterwards and entered the English football
league system at a much lower level. In 2013 the club won promotion back to the Football League
for the first time since 1988.
