Current season

Hull City Association Football Club is an English association football club based in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, founded in 1904. The club participates in The Championship, the second tier of English football. In 2007–08 they achieved promotion to the top flight of English football for the first time in their history, by winning the Championship play-off final at Wembley Stadium. They finished the 2008–09 season 17th in the Premier League table, successfully avoiding relegation by one point. The previous highest position Hull City had finished in the Football League was third in the old Second Division in 1909–10, which they matched in 2007–08 when they gained promotion. Their greatest achievement in cup competitions came in 1930, when the team reached the semi-final of the FA Cup. After securing promotion on the final day of the 2012–13 season, the club will compete in the Premier League in the 2013–14 season.

Hull play their home games at the KC Stadium. They previously played at Boothferry Park but moved to their current home in 2002, and Boothferry Park has now been demolished to make way for a housing development. They traditionally play in black and amber, often with a striped shirt design, hence their nickname The Tigers. The club's mascot is Roary the Tiger.

In August 2013, the club formally submitted a request to change its name to Hull City Tigers, Ltd. The FA has yet to approve the change, while the Premier League announced it will refer to the club as 'Hull City' during at least the 2013–14 season.
