New signing Matt Ritchie opened the scoring on the 15 minute mark, curling the ball past Shane Supple in the Bohs goal.
The Magpies doubled their lead soon after when Supple fouled Aleksandar Mitrovic in the area and the Serbian striker dusted himself off and converted from the penalty spot.
The hosts held out until half-time, but two goals after the restart ended the match as a contest. Dwight Gayle and Florian Thauvin were among the six half-time substitutes, and both had found the net by the 54th minute.
Rolando Aarons extended Newcastle’s lead after an hour before Georginio Wijnaldum completed the rout with a well-taken finish.
Meanwhile, Garry Monk’s Leeds eased to a comfortable 3-0 win over a youthful Shamrock Rovers side at Tallaght Stadium.
