Coventry RLFC
Coventry RLFC was a semi-professional rugby league team based in Coventry, West Midlands, England that played in the Northern Rugby Football Union League in the 1910–11, 1911–12, and 1912–13 seasons. History 

The club was formed in 1910 by players converting to Northern Union from rugby union. The club was admitted to the Northern Union in December 1910 in time for the start of the 1910–11 season. The new league club took over the tenancy of the Butts previously the home of Coventry rugby union club. Results on the field were poor and as a consequence, so were attendances. Receipts were not sufficient to sustain the club and Coventry RLFC folded after completion of the 1912–13 season. Today 

Rugby League returned to Coventry in the 21st century when Coventry Bears was formed, playing in the third tier League 1, and from 2004 to 2021 also played at the Butts, now called Butts Park Arena. In 2022 the Bears, now renamed Midlands Hurricanes moved out of the city. Club league record
