The Challenge Cup which was born in 1896 is the oldest rugby league knockout competition involving teams from all over the Northern Hemisphere.
The Rugby Football League Championship had been the status quo for rugby league in England until 1996. That year Super League came in with big fanfare and with a promise revolutionise the game of rugby league across the globe. The rugby league season changed from winter to summer. The logic behind the change was to attract bigger crowds and reduce competition from other winter sports.
The Super League rugby competition has 12 teams with promotion and relegation. At present there are eleven teams from England and one team from France.

If Okolie decides to retire from boxing I think some @SuperLeague clubs should take a look at him. His tackle technique is great!
Such a shame that a story as fantastic as @LutonTown getting promoted to the PL wouldn’t be replicated in @SuperLeague because we’re more bothered about social media interactions than what happens on the pitch in the “brave new world” of @IMG 🤷🏻♂️ #RugbyLeague

Criminal that @SuperLeague isn’t marketed better. Not many sports consistently come up with so many close games. @SkySports should be all over it.
A tale of roadblocks, resilience, and determination on the journey to achieving a dream. This is @AndyAckers9 @SalfordDevils #SuperLeague story,👊
