Leeds Rhinos dates from 1890, before the 1895 split that created the Northern Union. That breakaway, agreed in Huddersfield, became the game we now call rugby league.
Leeds were one of the founder clubs of the Northern Union in 1895, and the club took the Rhinos name in 1997, at the start of the Super League era. Leeds Rhinos have won eight Super League titles. Headingley Stadium, on St Michael's Lane, has been the club's home throughout its history.
