Rhinos make sporting history with new museum display

Monday, 14 May 2018 16:00

A new display celebrating the sporting legacy of the Leeds Rhinos has been unveiled at Leeds City Museum.

Featuring vintage photos, kits, programmes and tickets from some of the club’s historic clashes, the display tells the inspiring story of one of the world’s most successful Rugby League clubs.

Taking pride of place is the Yorkshire Cup, a trophy which saw teams from across the county take to the field and battle to be Yorkshire’s best for almost 90 years.

The Rhinos took home the impressive trophy, contested between 1905 and 1993, an incredible 17 times and it has been loaned by the Rugby Football League to the museum for the new display, which also focusses on how the club’s Headingley home has developed since they were founded in 1895.
