The Central Coast Bears were a proposed professional rugby league club based on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia.

They were trying to be included in an expanded National Rugby League competition.[1]

The proposed team would have played 11 games in Gosford and one game against Manly at North Sydney Oval, in the annual Heritage Round. Prominent rugby league personalities who have publicly backed the club include Phil Gould, Andrew Johns and Peter Sterling while support has also come from as high up as former M.H.R. for North Sydney, Joe Hockey.[2]
