Leeds Carnegie is an English rugby union club, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire that currently plays at the country's highest level of the sport, the Guinness Premiership. The club returned to the Premiership for 2007-08 at the first opportunity, winning the National Division One championship in 2006-07 after having been relegated the season before. From 1998 through to the end of the 2006-07 season, the club used the name Leeds Tykes, but on 14 May 2007 it was announced that Leeds Metropolitan University would buy a 51% stake in the club and change the name to fit with the university's sport department, Carnegie College.
