London Broncos R.L.F.C. are a professional rugby league club in Ealing, London, who compete in the Kingstone Press Championship, the second tier of professional rugby league football. They competed in the Super League from its introduction in 1996 until the end of the 2014 season. The current head coach is Andrew Henderson, assisted by England and Great Britain internationals Jamie Langley and Danny Ward.
The Broncos are captained by Daniel Harrison and play at the Trailfinders Sports Ground in Ealing, sharing with the rugby union side Ealing Trailfinders.
The club was originally formed as Fulham in 1981, entering the Rugby Football League Championship's second division for the 1980–81 Rugby Football League season. The club has also been known as London Crusaders (1991–1994), London Broncos (1994–2005 and since 2012) and Harlequins Rugby League (2006–2011).
Whilst the club has never won a major trophy, they were finalists in the 1999 Challenge Cup and finished the 1997 Super League season in second place. The only trophy the club has won since its formation in 1980 is the Rugby Football League Championship Second Division in 1982–83.
Professional rugby league was briefly represented in London in the 1930s by London Highfield (1933), Acton and Willesden (1935–36) and Streatham and Mitcham (1935–36). All were speculative clubs set up by local businessmen purely as money making exercises, and were ultimately driven out of business through poor finances. Thereafter, the sport of rugby league in England remained exclusively a Northern game for over forty years until the formation of new club in London, Fulham.
