Between 1905 and 1970 there were four trophies available to any British rugby league side:

  • Challenge Cup
  • Rugby Football League Championship
  • County league (Lancashire League or Yorkshire League)
  • County cup (Lancashire Cup or Yorkshire Cup)

To win "All Four Cups" in a single season was long regarded as the holy grail for a team. The feat was achieved on three occasions.

Famous quotes containing the word cups:

    “What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the day? Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the
    tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored
    taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous
    to demand the time of the day.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
