Hull Kingston Rovers

Football Codes

Hull Kingston Rovers, often shortened to Hull KR, are a professional rugby league club based in Kingston upon Hull, England, who play their home games at Craven Park on the east side of the city. The club began in 1882 when a group of apprentice boilermakers in the Hessle Road area of Hull started a team called Kingston Amateurs, which was later renamed Kingston Rovers. Known as the Robins after their red and white colours, they share the city with Hull FC, the two clubs being divided by the River Hull. Hull KR have won the League Championship six times and the Challenge Cup twice, spent ten years in Super League between 2007 and 2016, and returned in 2017. In 2025 the club won its first League Leaders' Shield and its first Super League Grand Final.
