Newcastle vs. Hull City: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 26

Draws: 6

Newcastle United and Hull City have clashed just 26 times over the years, but the Magpies hold a firm grip on the head-to-head record with 13 wins compared to the Tigers' seven, while a further six contests have ended all square.

The first five encounters between these two sides were all in the FA Cup, including the very first back in February 1911 when Newcastle secured a 3-2 home win in the third round, courtesy of goals from Albert Shepherd (2) and Colin Veitch.

Two years later, Newcastle required a replay to progress past Hull in the second round, before the Tigers got their revenge in 1930 with a victory – also via a replay – in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

In total, Newcastle have won four of their six FA Cup ties with Hull. However, the Tigers prevailed in the most recent of those in January 2009, with Daniel Cousin scoring the only goal in a narrow 1-0 away win in a third-round replay.

Between 1934 and 1991, Newcastle and Hull played against each other eight times in the old Division Two, with the Magpies winning five, drawing one and losing two.

Newcastle’s biggest league win over Hull came in December 1934 when they put the Tigers to the sword 6-2 at St James’ Park. This victory sparked a nine-game unbeaten run against Hull across all competitions up until the 1990-91 campaign, when the Tigers won both home and away fixtures against the Magpies by a 2-1 scoreline.

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Newcastle and Hull have played against each other seven times, with the Tynesiders winning three times to the Tigers' two victories, alongside the two draws the clubs shared.

Prior to Hull's return to the top flight in 2026-27, the last time two faced off in the Premier League was in 2014-15, when Newcastle were held to a 2-2 home draw, before goals from Remy Cabella, Sammy Ameobi and Yoan Gouffran secured a 3-0 away victory for the Magpies.

However, the two would meet again in November 2016, with the Tigers celebrating a 3-1 penalty-shootout victory in the EFL Cup third round following a 1-1 draw in 120 minutes at the MKM Stadium.

Most recently, Newcastle welcomed Hull to St James' Park in September 2026, holding out to win 2-1 - after early goals from Joe Willock and Lewis Hall - against a spirited Tigers side that had made an unbeaten start to the campaign.
