Super League Grand Final winners: Who has won the most Grand Finals? Full list and runners-up
This year is the 25th Super League Grand Final and fifth between Leeds Rhinos and St Helens.
Over the past quarter of a century, Rhinos and Saints have dominated the big occasion, winning it eight times each.
The only other sides to win a Grand Final are Wigan Warriors and Bradford Bulls, though Hull FC, Warrington Wolves, Castleford Tigers, Salford Red Devils and Catalans Dragons have all featured in the title decider – the last three of those all appearing in the past six years.
Teams in the top-flight this season who haven’t been to a Super League Grand Final are Huddersfield Giants, Hull KR, Wakefield Trinity and Toulouse Olympique.
Saturday is Rhinos’ 11th Grand Final and Saints’ 14th, but their first meeting in 11 years. Only five finals have not featured either team, three of those being between Wigan and Warrington Wolves and the other two seeing Warriors face Bradford.
Rhinos were the last new name on the trophy, when they beat Bulls in 2004.
The winners will set a new record for most Grand Final victories and Saints are bidding to become the first team to lift the trophy in four successive years. They currently share the record with Leeds who did the three-peat from 2007-2009.
