Newport Sports Museum

Newport Sports Museum was a sports museum in Newport Beach that displayed tens of thousands of artifacts from multiple professional sports. The collection featured jerseys, equipment, and championship memorabilia spanning decades of American athletic achievement.

The museum grew from a private collection that began in the 1950s and became open to the public in 1995 after decades of gathering. Operations ended in 2014 when maintenance expenses led to the facility's closure.

The institution provided educational programs connecting local youth with sports history through exhibits, memorabilia displays, and interactive learning experiences.

The location in Newport Beach was accessible with free admission and parking for visitors. The facility closed in 2014, so visits are no longer possible.

The collection included Babe Ruth's final home run baseball, Wayne Gretzky's 900th goal puck, and numerous game-worn jerseys from professional athletes.
