The club moved into their previous home of Thrum Hall in 1886, their home for the next 112 years until the latest move in 1998 to the re-developed 'Shay Stadium' to ground-share with local footballing neighbours, Halifax Town AFC.
When the Challenge Cup Final was taken to Wembley in 1929, Halifax became one of the first teams to sample its special magic, beating York in the 1931 final. They have since been to Wembley six more times, winning in 1939 and 1987, with their last appearance being in 1988 when they lost to Wigan.
They were the last Yorkshire team to win at Wembley, before Sheffield in 1998 and were the last Yorkshire team to finish top of Division One, achieved in 1985-86, before Bradford Bulls in 1997, the club were also the first winners of the John Player Trophy Special/Regal Trophy in 1972.
Their last major finals were reached in the early 1990s when, as a Second Division side, they lost to Wigan in the 1990 Regal Trophy final at Headingley, and in the 1991 Second Division Premiership Final to Salford who had also beaten them to the league title that same year.
An addition to the Halifax R.L.F.C. name was required upon the formation of 'Super League' in 1996 when pre-match entertainment, mascots and summer rugby became the norm when the club was renamed Halifax Blue Sox R.L.F.C. - however the club returned to the traditional Halifax R.L.F.C. at the start of 2003.
