Biography
Formation
Hull City Association Football Club was founded on 28 June 1904 in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The establishment of the club came after previous attempts to create an association football team in the city had failed due to the dominance of rugby league. Initially, the club faced challenges, including being unable to join the Football League for their inaugural season and playing only friendly matches. Their first competitive match was in the FA Cup preliminary round, where they drew 3–3 with Stockton but were eliminated in the replay.
Early Years and League Admission
After a series of friendly matches, Hull City was admitted to the Football League Second Division for the 1905–06 season. They played their early matches at various venues, including the Boulevard and the Circle, a cricket ground. The club's early years were marked by struggles to establish themselves in the league, but they gradually built a following and began to compete against notable teams like Manchester United and Chelsea.
Recent Achievements
In recent years, Hull City has seen significant success, including promotions to the Premier League, with their most recent promotion occurring via the EFL play-offs in 2026. The club has also had notable runs in cup competitions, reaching the FA Cup final in 2014.

Foundation and early progress (1904–1945)
Hull City Association Football Club was founded on 28 June 1904. Due to the popularity of rugby league in Kingston upon Hull, previous attempts to found an association football club in the city had proved difficult. By 1904, both Hull F.C. and Hull K.R. were already well-established sides with passionate local backing. The desire for a third team to represent the city in competitive sport was not particularly present at the time, but support would soon grow. The club faced some initial disruptions after foundation, as they had been unable to apply for membership of the Football League for the 1904–05 season and instead played only in friendlies. The first of these matches was a 2–2 draw with Notts County on 1 September 1904, with a crowd of 6,000 in attendance. These early matches were played at Hull F.C.'s home, the Boulevard. The club's first competitive football match was in the FA Cup preliminary round, drawing 3–3 with Stockton on 17 September, but they were eliminated after losing the replay 4–1 on 22 September. After disputes with landlords at the Boulevard, Hull City temporarily moved to the Circle, a cricket ground in West Park. After having played 44 friendly fixtures the previous season, Hull City were admitted into the Football League Second Division for the 1905–06 season. Other teams competing in the league that season included Manchester United and Chelsea, as well as Yorkshire rivals Barnsley, Bradford City…
