Newcastle United vs. Bournemouth: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 23

Newcastle wins: 8

Draws: 8

Newcastle United and Bournemouth have faced each other a total of 23 times across all competitions, and the Magpies shade the head-to-head record eight wins to seven.

The very first clash between these two clubs occurred back in November 1963, when Bournemouth - who were known as Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic at the time - secured a 2-1 home triumph in the third round of the League Cup.

It would take Newcastle an entire decade to gain revenge, beating their opponents in the FA Cup third round, though they won only one of their nest four meetings with the Cherries (D1, L2).

Since Bournemouth were promoted to the Premier League for the first time in 2015, the Cherries have come out on top in only four of their 15 top-flight encounters with the Magpies, including back-to-back victories in March 2016 (3-1) and November 2017 (1-0) under former boss Eddie Howe, who is now in charge of the Magpies.

Newcastle have won a total of five times in the Premier League against Bournemouth, while they also secured a narrow 1-0 home victory over the Cherries in an EFL Cup fourth round tie in December 2022.

Since then, the Magpies have failed to win any of their last six top-flight meetings with Bournemouth, including four draws, and Howe now holds the joint-record for the number of Premier League games that a manager has failed to beat their former side.

The most recent league clash between Newcastle and Bournemouth saw two defensively strong teams play out a 0-0 draw at the Vitality Stadium in September 2025, and while that stalemate pushed Andoni Iraola's side into the top three, the visitors set a division record as the first team to draw all of their first three away games 0-0.

The pair then met in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2026, with Newcastle winning 7-6 on penalties following a 3-3 draw.
