==History==
==History==
The earliest record of rugby in Leeds comes from 1864 when HI Jenkinson placed an advert for prospective players in the Leeds Mercury. The advert attracted significant interest which lead to the founding of several clubs including Leeds St. Johns in 1870, the ancestor of present day Leeds Rhinos.

Leeds Rhinos still play at Headingley which has a capacity of 22,250. Since 2006 the ground has been known as Headingley Carnegie Stadium and is shared with the Rugby Union club Leeds Carnegie. The club is sponsored by Leeds Building Society. The original Leeds St. Johns side were known as the "Old Blue & Ambers" because of their strip. The current Leeds home kit is still predominantly blue with amber bands.
