Keighley Cougars are a professional rugby league club from Keighley in West Yorkshire, England, whose home ground is Cougar Park, formerly Lawkholme Lane. The club was formed at a meeting on 17 October 1876, played rugby union at first and applied to join the Northern Union in April 1900. It reached the Challenge Cup final once, in 1937, and lost to Widnes. The name Keighley Cougars and the Cougar Park ground name date from a rebranding in the early 1990s, known as Cougarmania. The club has been through administrations and reformations, won League One in 2022 and was relegated back to League 1 in 2023. Its main rival is Bradford Bulls, and it has never won a major honour.
