2000 to Present Day: A New Millennium
2000: Bulls win the Challenge Cup for the first time in 51 years by 24 points to 18 against local rivals Leeds Rhinos. Henry Paul wins the Lance Todd Trophy as Man of the Match. The game is played at the Scottish Rugby Union's Murrayfield Stadium, the first time in the history of the competition that the final has been held in Scotland, and goes ahead despite major flooding at the ground only two days before.
A record 16 teams contest the twelfth Rugby League World Cup, which is staged at multiple venues around England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and France. The tournament is won by Australia who defeat New Zealand in the final at Old Trafford, Manchester.
2001: The Bulls take up residence at Valley Parade, home of Bradford City AFC, to allow for the redevelopment of Odsal Stadium. They reach the Challenge Cup final at Twickenham, but suffer a 13-6 defeat to St Helens. On 3rd May in a home match against Warrington, Henry Paul sets a new World Record for consecutive goal kicks (35). The Bulls finish the regular season as Minor Premiers and on 13th October at Old Trafford, a new Super League Grand Final record attendance of 60,164 is established as the Bulls crush Wigan Warriors 37-6 to claim the Championship Trophy. Michael Withers scores a try hat-trick and is awarded the Harry Sunderland Trophy as Man of the Match.
Also in 2001, Bulls second row forward Jamie Peacock scores the opening try for Great Britain after just two minutes as they defeat Australia 20-12 in Huddersfield in the first Ashes Test for seven years, but Australia go on to take the series 2-1, winning the second Test at Bolton and the third Test at Wigan.
2002: The Bulls are crowned World Club Champions on 1st February after defeating Australian Premiers Newcastle Knights 41-26 in front of a crowd of 21,113 at Huddersfield's McAlpine Stadium. James Lowes is named as Man of the Match and Paul Deacon kicks eight goals from nine attempts plus one drop goal for a total of 17 points in the match, an individual scoring record for this competition.
2003: Bradford Bulls have the most successful season in the history of the Club, winning all three titles. They travelled to Cardiff to beat the Leeds Rhinos at the Millennium Stadium 22-20, then went on to lift the League Leaders Shield for finishing top of the Super League after twenty eight rounds, before defeating Leeds Rhinos again, for the fifth time in the season, in the Qualifying Semi Final Play Off to reach the Tetley's Rugby Super League Grand Final. An outstanding performance of skill and domination saw the Bulls claim the Super League title with victory over a spirited Wigan Warriors. The season also saw the retirement of super star hooker James Lowes after an illustrious career, and the departure of veteran loose forward Mike Forshaw.
2004: Bradford Bulls regained the world club challenge by beating the NRL champions Penrith Panthers 22-4 in front of a packed crowd at the McAlpine Stadium in Huddersfield. 2004 also saw the Bulls beat Leeds Rhinos in the play offs to reach the Grand Final, only to meet their arch rivals two weeks later at Old Trafford in front of a record grand final crowd of 67,000. This time Bradford were narrowly edged out by Leeds, eventually losing 18-6. 2004 was a superb year for the ‘The Volcano' Lesley Vainikolo as he smashed the Super League try scoring record with a total of 37 tries in only 26 appearances. This remarkable achievement started in the first round of the regular Super League season as he crossed the try line five times against Wigan Warriors to equal the record for the total number of tries in a Super League game.
2004 also saw five Bradford players being named in the Great Britain squad for the Tri-Nations series and Coach Brian Noble being placed in charge of the GB Lions side. Four other Bulls players were named in the New Zealand side to face them. The series was a great success for Bulls utility back Stuart Reardon as he crossed the try line 4 four times and finished Great Britain's top try scorer.
2005 proved to be the season above all that encapsulated the whole history of Bradford Rugby League as the team slipped to eleventh at one point, before finishing as champions.
The Challenge Cup trail had ended in disarray at the KC Stadium were the Bulls allowed Hull to build up an unassailable 20 point lead before half time. Even with a spirited fight back Bradford saw their cup dreams disappear for another year in a grand stand finish, losing 24-26. As the season progressed, injuries to key players also mounted up.
On Sunday 5th June run-a-way leaders St Helens arrived at Odsal to face an injury plagued Bradford side not helped by the early dismissal of Pryce. The Merseysiders ran in twelve tries winning 66-4. Had it not been for Leigh's hopeless position, the unspeakable word relegation would have been swirling around the Odsal bowl. Head Coach Brian Noble and his staff didn't panic and they started to work a miracle turning the demoralised squad into contenders. In Rugby League like in life miracles don't happen overnight, gradually players came back from long term injuries, performances improved and confidence returned. Although six of the first team squad had decided to leave the club at the end of the season a bond was developing that this group of young men would go their separate ways as champions. The last eight Super League games were won amassing 385 points. The Bulls written off in June were in serious mood. As if to confirm the clubs intentions, Adrian Morley was signed on loan from Sydney Roosters for the culmination of the season. The final league match was at Knowsley Road, where Saints were in party mood after securing the Minor Premiership the week before. The Bulls proved to be the ultimate party poopers winning 32-18.
The plays-off saw London easily despatched before Challenge Cup winners Hull visited Odsal and, in a sensational display, the Bulls humiliated the Black and Whites 71-nil. The final hurdle on the road to a fifth successive Grand Final was the Bulls nemesis of the modern era St Helens, in a do or die encounter back at Knowsley Road. The epic contest wasn't decided until the 73rd minute when Shontayne Hape glided over for a try and ensure the Bulls won 23-18. History was made that October evening with St Helens becoming the first Minor Premiers not to reach the final 
while Bradford celebrated being the first club to secure a Grand Final berth from third position. Old Trafford proved to be the Theatre of Dreams as the rampant Bulls put the Rhinos to the sword. Scrum half Deacon orchestrating play, Morley outstanding in the forwards and Pryce taking the Man of the Match award and the interchange tactic between Henderson and Robbie Paul completely confusing Leeds, giving the Bulls their fourth Super League crown.
2006 The season's opener could not have come any bigger than the World Club Challenge against the pride of the Southern Hemisphere, West Tigers at the newly named Galpharm Stadium in Huddersfield. The squad for the match showed six changes to that that had so confidently lifted the Super League title only three months earlier. Brian Noble again proved the master tactician leading his charges to an astonishing 30-10 victory thus lifting the trophy for a record equalling third time with Stuart Fielden proving he was the best forward in the world. Stanley Gene picked up his first medal of his career and gained instant cult status from the fans. That February evening was the last match as chairman for Chris Caisley who in his seventeen years at the helm had turned the old Bradford Northern from a park-time outfit to a highly professional club, steering them through the most successful period in their history. Peter Hood took over the chair and within months would find himself thrown in at the deep end.
As the league campaign rolled on, the Bulls were challenging for top spot, although a heavy defeat against St Helens ended any aspirations of Challenge Cup success. In April the newly named Grattan Stadium was shaken to its very bed rock when Brian Noble, a life long club servant as player, assistant coach then head coach, announced he was to leave and take the helm at Wigan. He immediately took assistant coach Phil Veivers with him, leaving young Steve McNamara to take up the reins and within a month Stuart Fielden joined his former mentor at the JJB Stadium for a world record transfer fee. The off field activities suddenly appeared to be taking the entire headlines with Chief Executive Gareth Davies leading an exodus from the back office, whilst on the park McNamara had quietly steered the team to the play off semi-final against Hull at the KC Stadium. The contest ebbed and flowed with no quarter given and non asked, with only a cruel call by the officials preventing a sixth successive visit to Old Trafford.
2007
For the Centenary season Steve McNamra started to stamp his own personality on the club by assembling his own team brining in talented forwards David Solomona, Glenn Morrison, and Chris Feather and gifted centre James Evans and new back up staff.
The culmination of the centenary celebrations was the derby match against Leeds when last-gasp James Evans try rescued Bradford's revelry giving them a 16 all draw as Leeds threatened to ruin their party.
The Bulls were on course to celebrate their centenary in style after dominating and leading for most of a rugged West Yorkshire derby played in front of a season's-best crowd of 18,195 at the Grattan Stadium, Odsal.
Bulls captain Paul Deacon had a chance to secure both points but was wide with the difficult conversion.
Preceding the match a parade of former Northern and Bulls players carried every trophy the club have won over the last hundred years and a legend's match featuring former players from Leeds and Bradford was warmly received by both sets of fans
The season finished disappointingly with 30-31 play-off defeat at home to Wigan.
2008: A generally disappointing season for Bradford, with a fifth place finish in the Super League and once again losing to Wigan in the play-offs at the first hurdle. The team found it hard to form any consistency and this was not helped by the worst injury crisis the club had experienced since the birth of Super League.
