<P> The club found it difficult to adjust to the Second Division and were nearly further relegated in the 1937 -- 38 season , when they were spared on goal averages . However , when World War II broke in 1939 , Newcastle had a chance to regroup , and in the War period , they brought in Jackie Milburn , Tommy Walker and Bobby Cowell . They were finally promoted back to the First Division at the end of the 1947 -- 48 season . During the 1950s , Newcastle won the FA Cup trophy on three occasions within a five - year period , beating Blackpool in 1951 , Arsenal in 1952 , and Manchester City in 1955 . However , after this last FA Cup victory the club fell back into decline and were relegated to the Second Division once again at the end of the 1960 -- 61 season under the management of Charlie Mitten . Mitten left after one season in the Second Division and was replaced by former player Joe Harvey . Newcastle returned to the First Division at the end of the 1964 -- 65 season after winning the Second Division title . Under Harvey , the club qualified for European competition for the first time after a good run in the 1967 -- 68 season and the following year won the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final , triumphing 6 -- 2 over two legs against Hungary 's Újpest in the final . </P>
