Hull RUFC is a rugby union club based in Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England and currently plays in North Premier.

History

The club was formed in 1992 as a result of two clubs – Old Hymerians RUFC and Hull & East Riding RUFC (1989). 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. 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. In 2009 a women's team was founded at the club and the women and girls section is continuously growing.[1]
