Hull RUFC

The club was formed in 1992 as a result of two clubs – Old Hymerians RUFC and Hull & East Riding RUFC (1989). The club initially played at the Old Hymerians ground at Haworth Park (capacity 1,200) until the 2008–09 season when they moved to their current home; the Ferens Ground located at Chanterlands Avenue. The club has progressed up the rugby union pyramid, beginning life in the old North East 2, and won promotion to National League 2 North in 2009. In 2009 a women's team was founded and the women and girls section is continuously growing. In 2015, after six seasons in National League 2 North, Hull were relegated to the northern regional leagues. In 2019 the club won the North Premier (tier 5) league title for the first time, making a return to National League 2 North and in 2022 the club were champions of National League 2 North, winning promotion to National League 1. This was the first time the club had reached tier 3 of the English club game. ==Ground==

The Ferens Ground is next to Hull Sports Centre, on Chanterlands Avenue, about 2.5 miles from Hull Paragon Interchange and the city centre, with parking available both in and around the ground. Capacity is around 1,500, most of which is standing but there is also seating for up to 288. ==Honours==
