When we decided to bring the former Rhode Island Gulls from Warwick to Newport, we never imagined it would grow to be the premier summer family entertainment in “The City by The Sea”. And now here we are, 20 years later and still going strong, both on and off of Cardines Field.

Newport Gulls, Ltd. is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation organized to operate what has become one of the best summer collegiate baseball organizations in the country. We are grateful for the support we receive from the City of Newport, along with our fans, volunteers, sponsors and host families. We will continue to strive toward providing the best possible family entertainment for our communities. Our motto, “Raising the Bar in Summer Collegiate Baseball,” is exemplified by all of those who make what we do possible - both on and off the field. The Newport Gulls are six-time champions of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) and in 2012 were ranked as the No. 1 summer collegiate baseball team nationally by Perfect Game USA.

Early on in our history, we adopted the song “We Are Family” as a theme aimed toward the importance of making everyone associated with our operation feel a special part of it. Thank you everyone, for being part of our Gulls “Family”, and for supporting us for the last 20 years. We can’t wait for 2021 and the opportunity to get back of the field and providing Newport with the BEST in summer family entertainment. THANK YOU !
