Gosford formerly had a professional team in the [[National Rugby League]] from 2000 until 2002, the [[Northern Eagles]]. The club, formed as a merger between the previously Gosford-bound [[North Sydney Bears]] and the [[Manly Warringah Sea Eagles]], played its allocation of Gosford home matches at the purpose-built [[Central Coast Stadium]]. The club licence however reverted to Manly in 2003 and the club was dissolved.

The [[Central Coast Mariners]] professional football club was formed in 2005 to participate in the [[A-League]]. The club has won two titles to date, most recently defeating [[Melbourne City FC|Melbourne City]] in the [[2023 A-League Men Grand Final]].

Locally, Gosford is the headquarters of the [[Central Coast Division Rugby League]], which owns the Central Coast League Club in downtown Gosford. The suburb of Gosford has one current club, the St. Edwards Bears, and one junior club, the [[Gosford Kariong Storm]]. The Storm were initially a senior club as well, formed from the merger of the Gosford Townies/Giants and the nearby Kariong Kookaburras.

The [[New South Wales Country Rugby Union|Central Coast Rugby Union]] features eight first grade clubs and is one of the strongest local rugby union competitions in the state.

The city also has local [[Australian rules football|Australian rules]] and [[cricket]] clubs as well as basketball and Netball teams.
