About this book

For every team involved, the Rugby League tournament is a true test of team spirit, strength, fitness, and stamina. and this unique gift book contains spectacular tries and tackles from every Challenge Cup final.  

This book covers 1929 to present day and includes some classic encounters. The closely fought 1965 final between Hunslet and Wigan, which saw two men share the Lance Todd Trophy for the first and only time in history. James Leuluai’s crucial tries in the nail-biting 1985 final between Wigan and Hull. Martin Offiah’s length-of-the-field try in 1994 which helped lead Wigan to victory against Leeds. And the 1996 record-breaking final which saw winners St Helen’s clock the highest score in a final (40 points) and runners up, Bradford, produce the highest score by a losing side (32 points).

Written by reporters who were present at the games, and through the action-packed photographs snapped in the stadium, this book is the ultimate record of this classic competition.

The History of Rugby League Cup Finals FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
