About

Warrington Wolves rugby league football club has a long and illustrious history as one of the most prominent and successful clubs in the sport. Founded in 1876, they were one of the original clubs that seceded the Rugby Football Union in 1895 to form the code of football now known as rugby league. They play in Super League, the top tier of the professional game in the Northern Hemisphere, and are the only founding club never to have played outside the top flight. They have been crowned league champions three times, and winners of the Challenge Cup nine, as well as picking up numerous other honours.

The team are nicknamed 'The Wire', a shortened form of 'Wirepullers', the moniker given to the club in its early years in reference to the major industry of the town. Originally formed as Warrington Zingari, they adopted the town name alone at the end of their inaugural season following the demise on an earlier Warrington club.
