Whitley Bay Barbarians under-14s were formed in November 1994. The Barbarians under-9s were born a year later in 1995. The open age side was formed in 1996, after a reasonably successful run, Barbarians went through a difficult couple of years, only for the Barbarians Juniors to be reborn in 1999.
Whitley Bay Barbarians reformed their open age side and joined the newly created North East Division of the Rugby League Conference in the 2003 season.
Whitley joined the North Premier for the 2007 and 2008 summer seasons, but in 2009 the North Premier was divided into the North West Premier and the Yorkshire Premier and the Barbarians joined the North East Division again. Then in 2011 the North East League was split into two, Regional and Premier, which the Barbarians entered the RLC North East regional division.
Whitley Bay Barbarians' junior teams take part in the North East Junior League at under-10s, 12s, 14s and under-16s.
The Barbarians also run a touch rugby session on a Thursday night at Whitley Bay High School, which is open any one over the age of 12 years old.
