The Newport Gulls are a wooden-bat, summer collegiate baseball team based in Newport, Rhode Island. The Newport Gulls Baseball Club is a member of both the New England Collegiate Baseball League and the NECBL's East Division. From 2001 to the present, the Gulls have played at Cardines Field. Due to the Gulls playoff record, loyal fan base, and the fine-tuned nature of their operation, the franchise is considered as a premier team in the NECBL, and among the top summer collegiate teams in the United States.

[edit] History

An NECBL expansion team, the club was founded in Cranston in 1998. The Gulls have been one of the NECBL's most successful teams since their inception, winning 4 Fay Vincent, Jr. Cups as champions of the NECBL, and seven Division Titles.
