Championship Cup

The Championship Cup, known as the Northern Rail Cup due to sponsorship by Northern Rail, is a rugby league football competition for clubs in the United Kingdom's Championship and Championship 1 leagues, formerly known as the Rugby League National Leagues. Although the French club Toulouse Olympique competed in the Championship from 2009 through 2011, it never participated in the cup until 2012 after they had left the Championship. The competition was founded in 2002, with Northern Rail buying the naming rights in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word cup:

    In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
