The York Knights are the men's professional rugby league team of York RLFC, based in York, England. The club play their home games at York Community Stadium[2] and currently compete in the Championship, the second tier of British rugby league.

The club, which was founded as the York City Knights, is a phoenix club established after the original York club folded in 2002. The Knights played in blue and white until 2017 when they reverted to the city's traditional home colours of amber and black. The club was renamed as York RLFC in 2022 with the men's team continuing to be known as the Knights and the women's team becoming the Valkyrie.
