Hull Kingston Rovers (also known as Hull KR) is an English professional rugby league football club based in Hull, England. The club formed in 1882 and currently competes in Super League, having won promotion from National League One in 2006. Hull Kingston Rovers are one of two professional rugby league teams in the city along with Hull, who play in the western side of the city, while Hull KR are based in the eastern side at the KC Lightstream Stadium. The River Hull is usually seen as the divide between the two clubs in the city. Hull KR's nickname is "the Robins" which originates from their traditional playing colours of red and white.

The KC Lightstream Stadium (formerly known as Craven Park) is the home of Hull Kingston Rovers RLFC and Football team Hull United. It is situated on Preston Road in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The club moved to the new ground in 1989 from the "Old" Craven Park which was sited on Holderness Road.
The first match was played against Trafford Borough packing in a full capacity 8,500 crowd to watch. Rovers convincingly started the new era, and in that season were crowned Division Two champions.
The stadium was the former home to the Hull Vikings speedway team, but they left when the ground was refurbished for Hull Kingston Rovers use in the Super League.
In 2006 the ground and pitch were substantially improved as the club sought a return to the top flight of English rugby league.
Plans for Hull Kingston Rovers to move from Craven Park to a new purpose-built rugby league stadium to be constructed at a new, unconfirmed site were suggested in 2007, but shortly after this, Hull City Council, in partnership with Kingston Community Developments Limited and Hull Kingston Rovers, announced that terms for lease agreements had been reached to support the long-term future of Craven Park. These terms will enable investment and development of the stadium to move forward.
The initial phase of redeveloping Craven Park was the lease purchase of a temporary seated stand which replaced the use of the inadequate south terrace for visiting away fans. Hull Kingston Rovers' second season in Super League coincided with work beginning on the extension of the standing terraced East Stand. This extension increased the capacity of the stand by 1,120 bringing its overall capacity to 4,750. A similar extension to the opposite end of the stand was completed in 2009.
On 25 January 2014, Hull Kingston Rovers announced that it had secured a new stadium naming rights partnership with local communications provider, KC. Under a five-year agreement, Craven Park was renamed the KC Lightstream Stadium.
On 21 October 2015, it was announced that Non-League football team Hull United will play their home games at the stadium.
