Trans-Pennine Cup
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Trans-Pennine Cup was a short-lived competition for professional British rugby league clubs outside Super League. It was played for during the period in which all non-Super League professional clubs were grouped into a single competition, the Northern Ford Premiership: 1998-2001.
The competition had no qualification rounds; only a final was played. The finalists were the highest placed team in the Northern Ford Premiership from either side of the Pennines (Yorkshire versus Lancashire/Cumbria), at an early stage of the season.
In 2001 the competition was replaced by the Buddies Cup, a longer competition.
The replacement competition, the National League Cup, was still played until 2013.
