The Super League Grand Final is the championship-deciding game of rugby league's Super League competition. It is played between two teams who have qualified via the Super League Play-Off series.
The winning team receive the Super League Trophy and go on to play the NRL champions in the World Club Challenge.
The Harry Sunderland Trophy is awarded to the man of the match in the Grand Final.
Wigan are the current champions, beating Warrington 12-6.
Use of a play-off system to decide the Championship brought back a rugby league tradition that had fallen out of use in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. The Super League Premiership replaced the Championship final but it was to decide the Premiership winners, not the Championship winners. The Premiership was discontinued after the introduction of the Super League play-off series in 1998.
The Super League Grand Final was introduced for the 1998 season. The inaugural Grand Final match was played that year on Saturday 24 October, between Wigan and Leeds. The venue of every Super League Grand Final to date has been Old Trafford, Manchester.
The Grand Final is held at Old Trafford, Manchester, the largest capacity stadium in the North of England.
Attendances
The winners of the Grand Final qualify to play the winners of the National Rugby League in the World Club Challenge. The Grand Final Runner up can play in the World Club Series if a team were to win the double.
