Leeds Rugby Ltd was formed in 1998 with the amalgamation of two top-f light clubs: rugby league club Leeds Rhinos and rugby union club Leeds Carnegie (formerly Leeds Tykes). Both teams are based at Headingley Carnegie Stadium in Leeds, where rugby matches have been staged since 1895.

Rhinos RLFC is enjoying its best-ever run of success, dominating the league with three consecutive Super League titles. It is the first club to do this in the Super League era and in a salary-capped sport.
