The club was disbanded prior to the Second World War, and was reformed in 1948, due to Les Brady, who was running the successful Bierley under 18 team at the time, Vincent Heslop and Danny Cullerton.

The first match played was at Queensbury, which Dudley Hill lost by over 50 points to nil, missing a free kick under the posts in the last few minutes.

One of the Dudley Hill Players broke his arm and Heslop, who had the only available transport, a former army wagon, had to stop playing to take him to hospital.

Various changing rooms were used during this period, but eventually the Imperial Hotel on Tong Street was used, where buckets of water were begged from the publican for washing.

During the next few seasons with new players coming into the team from Bierley and other sources, better results were achieved and the foundations were laid to make Dudley Hill a force in amateur rugby league circles.

During the next few decades, a host of players followed Heslop and Oldfield, some ending up in the professional ranks and some playing amateur representative football for Bradford, Yorkshire, and Great Britain.

Even with improved results and a stronger team, it was not until 1979 that Dudley Hill won their first trophy as winners of the Bradford League seven-a-side competition.

Dudley Hill finished the first season as League Leaders but were defeated in the playoffs by eventual winner Woolston Rovers.

Despite some success in National League Three, the club resigned at the end of the 2006 season citing the lack of games due to teams forfeiting making it not financially viable to continue.

Their 2006 Challenge Cup campaign saw them beat Gateshead Storm (42–12) and Warrington Wizards (22–20) before losing to semi-professional side Dewsbury Rams (0–68).

Dudley Hill's 2010 Challenge Cup run didn't last long as they were knocked out in Round 1 by Castleford Panthers (18–20).

Dudley Hill's 2013 Challenge Cup campaign started with a bye as the Bonymaen Broncos had to pull out due to player shortages.

Due to the problems the club decided not to enter the 2014 Challenge Cup citing that they couldn't guarantee being in business when the competition commenced.

They had a mixed start to the season with some inconsistent form but they eventually put a run of 10 games unbeaten to nearly grab automatic promotion to be denied by a two-point deduction for fielding an ineligible player.

However a defeat to Askham and a heavy loss in the Conference Challenge Cup to Rochdale Mayfield (6–54) dented their good start.

Entering the Yorkshire Men's League in Division Two meant there were more local derbies and the club could focus more on junior teams.

Dudley Hill have beaten several established professional rugby league teams, including York City Knights, and Keighley Cougars.
