2012 season | |
The 2012 Championship Cup (known for commercial reasons as the Northern Rail Cup) was the 11th season of the rugby league football competition for clubs in Great Britain's Co-operative Championship and Championship One.
In the final staged at Bloomfield Road in Blackpool, Halifax defeated Featherstone Rovers 21-12 to claim the trophy.
Format
[edit]The twenty teams were split up into two pools. Each team played two home games and two away games against teams in their pool. The top four teams in each pool following the conclusion of the group stage fixtures then progressed into an open draw for the knock-out quarter-final stage. The competition started on February 5.
Toulouse Olympique competed in this competition despite withdrawing from the Co-operative Championship. All the teams from the Championships competed except for the newly reformed North Wales Crusaders.
