  In this work we present a non-relativistic gravity theory defined in four
spacetime dimensions using the MacDowell-Mansouri geometrical formulation. We
obtain a Newtonian gravity action which is constructed from the curvature of a
Newton-Hooke version of the so-called Newtonian algebra. We show that the
non-relativistic gravity theory presented here contains the Poisson equation in
presence of a cosmological constant. Moreover we make contact with the Modified
Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) approach for gravity by considering a particular
ansatz for a given gauge field. We extend our results to a generalized
non-relativistic MacDowell-Mansouri gravity theory by considering a generalized
Newton-Hooke algebra.
