Founded in 1926, the Tigers are known as Cas, Classy Cas, Ye Fords and The Glassblowers, a nod to the town's glassmaking past. They have won the Challenge Cup four times and the League Leaders' Shield once. Castleford is a small town that has long punched above its weight in rugby league.

The Tigers play at Wheldon Road, known for sponsorship reasons as the Mend-A-Hose Jungle. The Jungle nickname dates from the 2000s and is loved by supporters. The big local rivalry is with Wakefield Trinity, with Leeds Rhinos and Featherstone also near neighbours. Malcolm Reilly, Alan Hardisty, Keith Hepworth and Daryl Powell are among the club's best-known names.

Castleford won the Challenge Cup in 1935, 1969, 1970 and 1986, the last a thrilling Wembley final. The club has played at Wheldon Road since 1927. Their League Leaders' Shield came in 2017.
