Hull City Ladies Football Club is a semi-professional women's association football club based in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. They compete in the Template:English football updater-W, the third tier of the women's English football league system. They play their home games at the Easy Buy Stadium, in nearby Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire.[1]
Although they share a number of similarities with Hull City Association Football Club, the Tigresses, as they are known, are not affiliated with them and are completely independent.[2]
History
Hull City Ladies F.C. were formed in 2001, and began play in the Yorkshire & Humberside league before being promoted to the North East Women's Premier League in 2004–05. In the 2006–07 season, they were division champions and as a result achieved promotion to the Northern Combination Women's Football League. By 2009, they had been relegated back to the North East league. Ahead of the 2011–12 campaign, the club merged with Beverley Town Ladies. In 2014–15, the Tigresses were promoted as champions to the Women's Premier League Northern Division One. Their dramatic rise through the leagues continued, reaching the FA Women's National League North in 2018. However, in the 2021–22 season, they were relegated, only to return in 2024, after a 5–1 away victory over Leeds United saw Hull win the league title.[3]
In April 2025, three major headlines broke from the club. Firstly, on 16 April, co-owner and chairman Daniel Johnson requested that the FA should relegate Hull to the fourth tier regardless of their league position amidst financial ruin.[4] A few weeks later they were then investigated by the police for suspected fraud, with the club's future hanging in the balance.[2] Then, on 30 April, the club's players accused Johnson of "aggressive behaviour", including making "inappropriate comments about sex".[5]
