Newton Stewart Football Club are a football club from the town of Newton Stewart in the Dumfries and Galloway area of Scotland. Formed in 1884, they are nicknamed the Creesiders, because the town stands on the banks of the River Cree.

Contents

They compete in the South of Scotland Football League, which they have won on three separate occasions and finished 2nd in the 2014–15 season. Home matches are played at Blairmount Park, which holds around 1,500 spectators. There was a stand at the ground at one stage, but this burned down, leaving Blairmount Park a fairly open and undeveloped football venue which has recently been converted into an all-weather 4G surface.

Newton Stewart recently just won their first trophy for 13 years after defeating local rivals Wigtown & Bladnoch 2–1 in the J. Haig Gordon Cup final. They then followed that by beating Mid-Annandale 4–0 in the final of the Potts Cup to claim their second trophy of the season. The club ended the season with a cup double which has been the most successful season for many years.

Newton Stewart's strip (uniform) colours are black and white stripes.

As a full member of the Scottish Football Association, the club can play in the Scottish Cup.
