History

The clubs that formed the Northern Union had long been playing in local knockout cup competitions under the auspices of the Rugby Football Union. However, the rugby union authorities refused to sanction a nationwide tournament, fearing that this would inevitably lead to professionalism. After the schism of 1895, the northern clubs were free to go-ahead, and they instigated the Northern Rugby Football Union Challenge Cup. The Rugby Football League (RFL) is the governing body for Rugby League in the United Kingdom. ... The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is the rugby union governing body in England. ... The history of rugby league began with the schism of 1895 in the sport of Rugby football. ...

The competition was interrupted by World War one, though it was held in 1915, when the season that had begun before the war was completed. It was then suspended until the end of hostilities.


Initially, the final tie was held at one of the larger club grounds in the north, however, noting the excitement in Huddersfield that the town’s soccer team were playing at Wembley in the FA Cup Final, the rugby league authorities voted to relocate to the recently built Wembley Stadium in London. The first final held at Wembley was in 1929 when Wigan beat Dewsbury 13-2 in front of a crowd of 41,500. Wembley Stadium was a football stadium located in Wembley, London. ...


At the start of World War two, rugby league suspended its season immediately, but the Challenge Cup took a single year’s break before restarting, on a limited basis and with the support of the authorities, as part of keeping up morale. The Challenge Cup finals, which took place in the game’s Northern heartland, got big crowds as the game raised money for Prisoners of War and for Lord Beaverbrook’s armaments programme.

Until the 1993-1994 season there were very few amateur clubs included in the cup, typically two. For part of the 1980s and the 1992/1993 season the cup was solely for professional clubs. The competition was then opened up to large numbers of amateur clubs.

The Challenge Cup final traditionally formed the end to the season, being played in late April or early May. The move to a summer season for rugby league in 1996 did not see the Challenge Cup moved, and it became instead essentially a pre-season tournament, with the final taking place early in the season. Many people felt that this led to a decline in the prestige of the cup. The timing of the competition was altered in 2005, with the first Summer Cup Final held on Saturday August 27 at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.
