Leeds Rhinos RLFC

Leeds Rhinos is an English professional rugby league football club based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The club won the 2011 Super League and became the most successful club in the Super League era, beating St Helens 32-16 on 8 October 2011. Formed in 1890, Leeds competes in Europe's Super League competition. The club's home is the 21,200 capacity Headingley Stadium, which is in the suburb of Headingley, northwest Leeds. One of the oldest clubs in the world, Leeds Rhinos is owned by the same company that owns the Leeds Carnegie rugby union team. The club is the third most successful rugby league club in England behind only Wigan and St Helens, as judged by the number of combined Championships and Challenge Cups won. The club was founded under the Rugby Football Union in 1870. In 1895 Leeds was one of the original twenty-two rugby clubs that broke away from the establishment and formed what is now the Rugby Football League, making it one of the world's first rugby league teams. Leeds won its first Challenge Cup final in 1910, and has gone on to win it eleven more times. The club did not win its first championship until 1961. Since then it has won eight in total, as well as three World Club Challenge titles. Leeds was one of the original twelve Super League clubs when rugby league became a summer sport in 1996. The 'Rhinos' nickname and logo were introduced in 1997. On 10 October 2009, Leeds won the Super League Grand Final against St Helens at Old Trafford, 18–10 meaning that Leeds became the first club to be Super League champions three seasons running.
