The Oulton Raidettes Women's Rugby League Club are a women's rugby league football team based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. They were founded in 2012 and have affiliations with the Oulton Raiders.[1] As of 2025 they play in the RFL Women's Championship.

History

[edit | edit source]

In 2012, the team played in the Yorkshire and North East Division and made their first appearance in the Women's Challenge Cup where they played Wigan St Patricks in the first round.[2] The league system was restructured several times in the following seasons with Oulton competing in Division One in 2013[3] and, from 2015, in the Premier Division which was the top tier of the RFL Women's Rugby League.[4] In 2016 and 2017, before the group format was introduced to the Challenge Cup, Oulton reached the quarter-finals of the competition.[5][6] In 2017, Oulton competed in the Championship and reached the Grand Final in the first season of the competition.[7]

In April 2022, Oulton defeated Wakefield Trinity 14–12 in their final group match to progress to the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup.[8] In October 2022, Oulton defeated the Salford Red Devils 33–14 in the Championship Grand Final,[9] but declined promotion to the 2023 Super League.[10] In 2023, Oulton reached the Championship Grand Final again, but lost 30–16 to Hull Kingston Rovers.[11] In January 2024, following the restructuring of the women's league pyramid, it was announced that Oulton would be in the Northern Women's Championship.[12] They finished the season in fourth place to qualify for the play-offs, but forfeited their semi-final match due to players having other commitments, including several of them being in France as part of England Rugby League's Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) programme.[13][14]
