Hamilton Ducks Rugby League Football Club (shortened to Hamilton Ducks RLFC) is a rugby league football club based in Hamilton, a suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales.
Often known simply as The Ducks, the team wears green, white, and orange. Founded in 2019, the team has fielded teams exclusively within the Newcastle & Hunter Rugby League.
History[edit]
Hamilton Ducks RLFC was founded in 2019 and saw success in their debut year, taking first place in the D Grade Southern Conference in 2019.
In 2019, the Ducks fielded a team comprised almost exclusively of newcomers to the league, the majority of players being current or former residents of the University of Newcastle residential college, Evatt House. The club has a strong community focus, and aims to provide a place for its members and associates to congregate, both at the club's home field Learmonth Park, and at other events, such as those held at the club's sponsor venue, The Kent Hotel, Hamilton.
The Ducks men's league team moved to the C Grade competion in 2020, with the addition of a ladies league tag team for the 2020 season.
