===Rugby league=== Rugby league is the most popular sport in Newcastle, with the [[Newcastle Knights]] representing the city in the [[National Rugby League]]. The Knights play at the 33,000-capacity [[McDonald Jones Stadium]], situated in the suburb of {{NSWcity|New Lambton}}. The [[Newcastle Rugby League]] holds local club competition and has done so since the early 1900s. Touring domestic and international teams would play against Newcastle's representative team which was made up of players from this league. The [[Newcastle & Hunter Rugby League]] is a community competition also based in the region which was created from a merger in 2007 of leagues which ran under various names since the mid-20th century, and is the largest community rugby league competition anywhere in the world. It generally features smaller teams compared to the Newcastle Rugby League. McDonald Jones Stadium hosted the [[2016 Anzac Test]] between [[Australia national rugby league team|Australia]] and [[New Zealand national rugby league team|New Zealand]].<ref>[http://www.nrl.com/representative-round-newcastle-to-host-test/tabid/10874/newsid/91436/default.aspx Representative Round: Newcastle to host Test] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008235554/http://www.nrl.com/representative-round-newcastle-to-host-test/tabid/10874/newsid/91436/default.aspx |date=8 October 2016 }} National Rugby League 25 January 2016</ref>
