Halifax RLFC is one of the most historic rugby league clubs in the game, formed over a century ago, in 1873 in the Yorkshire town of Halifax. Known as 'Fax', the official club colours are blue and white hoops, white shorts and blue and white socks (hence the short-lived nickname the Blue Sox). They share the Shay stadium with football club F.C. Halifax Town. Halifax are also one of the original twenty-two rugby clubs that formed the Northern Rugby Football Union in 1895, making them one of the world's first rugby league clubs. They have been Rugby League Champions four times and have won the Challenge Cup five times. They have rivalries with local neighbours Bradford and Huddersfield. Halifax have also formed a Championship rivalry with Featherstone Rovers due to events over the past 3 years when the clubs have clashed.
