Hull City Association Football Club are an English football team based at the Kingston Communications Stadium in Kingston upon Hull. They play in black and amber stripes. Hull City is currently playing in Football League One, but has assured itself of promotion to the Football League Championship for the 2005-06 season.
Hull City's highest ever finish came in 1910, when they came very close to winning promotion to the top flight, when they finished third in the old Second Division. Level on points with second placed Oldham, Hull missed promotion on goal average by the slim margin of 0.29 of a goal. Hull have never finished as high since, and as a result, Hull is the largest city in England never to have had a club play in the top division.
In cup competitions, the club's greatest achievement was in 1930, when they reached the FA cup semi-final.
