The League Cup was a knock-out competition for British rugby league football clubs between 1971 and 1996. It was initially for professional clubs with the exception of two amateur teams who were finalists of the BARLA National Cup. However, in the latter seasons the cup was expanded to include leading amateur and French teams, the latter as a precursor to their inclusion in the Challenge Cup. The rounds were played during the early part of the season, with the final taking place usually in January. The tournament was regarded as much less prestigious than the Challenge Cup, and it was abandoned when Rugby League moved to be a summer sport.

  • The League Cup was a knock-out competition for British rugby league football clubs between 1971 and 1996. It was initially for professional clubs with the exception of two amateur teams who were finalists of the BARLA National Cup. However, in the latter seasons the cup was expanded to include leading amateur and French teams, the latter as a precursor to their inclusion in the Challenge Cup. The rounds were played during the early part of the season, with the final taking place usually in January. The tournament was regarded as much less prestigious than the Challenge Cup, and it was abandoned when Rugby League moved to be a summer sport. Although officially called the League Cup, the name of the competition was always referred to by its sponsorship name. The initial sponsors were the tobacco manufacturer John Player & Sons with Regal taking over in 1989 until the competition's end. Over the years, the competition was known as the Player's No.6 Trophy (1971–77), the John Player Trophy (1977–83) and the John Player Special Trophy (1983–89), before finally becoming the Regal Trophy in 1989.

  • Le Regal Trophy était une compétition pour les clubs de rugby à XIII britanniques qui s'est déroulée de 1971 à 1996. Elle était réservée au départ aux clubs professionnels. Dans les dernières années, elle fut étendue aux clubs amateurs et français avant leur intégration à la Challenge Cup Les matchs avaient lieu au début de la saison avec une finale prévue généralement à Noël. Le tournoi n'avait pas le prestige de la Challenge Cup. Il fut abandonné quand le Rugby à XIII devint un sport d'été. Le nom Regal Trophy provient du parrainage de fabricant de tabac John Player & Sons.[pas clair] La compétition s'est également appelée (avant de prendre son nom définitif de Regal Trophy) : * Player's No.6 Trophy (1971-77) * John Player Trophy (1977-83) * John Player Special Trophy (1983-89) (fr)
