History

Despite being a relatively new stadium, the KC is now regarded as one of Rugby League’s premier venues for International Rugby League.

The KC has staged matches in the Tri-Nations and the Ashes competitions. The stadium hosted the 2004 Tri-Nations match in which Great Britain defeated New Zealand 26–24. East Yorkshire’s premier venue also hosted the Tri-Nations game between Great Britain and Australia in 2005; which Australia won 26-14.
