Hull City currently play in the [[English Premier League]] domestically. The club's nickname is ''The Tigers'' playing in an amber and black kit. Club officials in 2014 wanted to rename the club &quot;Hull Tigers&quot;, however the move was rejected by the [[English FA]] and the club remained as Hull City. <br /> <br /> Hull were originally founded in 1904. The city of Hull had struggled to create a football team until this point, due to the dominance of [[Rugby League]] in the area. Hull City joined The Football League in the 1905–06 season, after playing a year of friendlies. Following their formation, Hull remained in the English second tier, before they were relegated in 1930.<br /> <br /> In the first year of the clubs existence, they played their home games at [[The Boulevard]]. Following problems with the stadium owners, they moved to [[Anlaby Road]], where they played until 1939. Following the Second World War, the club played at Boothferry Park until 2002, when they moved to their current home, the [[KC Stadium]].<br /> <br /> The club has spent the majority of its existence outside the English top-tier and was promoted to the [[Premier League]] for the first time in their history in 2008, after they won the [[Football League Championship]] playoffs.<br /> <br /> Hull's main rivals are [[Scunthorpe United]] and [[Grimsby Town]]. All three teams are considered part of the [[Humber derby]], which dates back to 1905 when Hull City played [[Grimsby Town]]. Hull also have other Yorkshire derbies with a number of teams, however they aren't considered as important.<br /> <br /> The club's major success came in 2014, when they were runners-up to Arsenal in the [[FA Cup]]. Due to Arsenal reaching [[The Champions League]] that year, it meant Hull reached a European competition for the first time. They failed to make the full competition after they lost on away goals in the Playoff round to [[Lokeren]]. In domestic cup competitions, Hull have been runners-up in the [[Football League Trophy]] in 1994 and runners-up in the[[ Watney Cup]] in 1974.</div>
