	Rugby League Challenge Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The winner is selected by the members of the Rugby League Writers' Association present at the game and the trophy is presented at a celebratory dinner at The Willows, home of the Salford City Reds.
		The final is one of the biggest rugby league events of the year in Britain, along with the Super League Grand Final.
		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.
